The term "asthma" refers to a form of persistent inflammatory disease affecting the airways. Asthma causes the bronchial tubes to narrow, which leads to tightness in the chest and episodes of respiratory distress. Typical complaints are shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. These symptoms often occur at night and in the early hours of the morning. What is characteristic is that these changes are variable and reversible. If asthma is managed properly, these symptoms can be controlled – however, there is no known cure for asthma.
Asthma can be triggered by allergens such as pollen, animal dander, or dust. People can develop asthma as children or adults. Childhood asthma and adult-onset asthma have the same symptoms, and both have similar treatments. Asthma can also be triggered by upper respiratory infections, cold air, exercise, air pollution, or changes in weather.
Asthma is a reversible, chronic disease involving the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. The airways of people with asthma become inflamed. The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive and they often react to allergens or irritations.
There is no cure for asthma. But with the proper medication and a management plan, symptoms can be controlled.
If asthma is suspected, the doctor will first establish an accurate picture of your symptoms and will ask about previous diseases, diseases in the family, and history of allergies.
Asthma can be well-controlled in most cases. There are a wide range of different therapies available, including a combination of therapies.
