Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway that impacts a person’s and their family’s quality of life. In people with asthma, their airway becomes constricted with swelling and excessive mucous. This constriction or narrowing of the airway makes it difficult for the person with asthma to

Asthma Breathing is a vital process for every human. Normal breathing is practically effortless for most people, but those with asthma face a great challenge. During an asthma attack, breathing is hampered, making it difficult or even impossible for air to flow through the lungs.

I have had a variety of experiences that contributed to my overall motivation to become a health care professional. My passion for medicine began when I was an adolescent being evaluated and taken care of by my pediatrician, Dr. Gonzalez. As a kid, I loved being active and playing several sports. However, I consistently had shortness of breath, wheezing, and tightness in my chest during my sports competitions, which my parents quickly noticed. I visited Dr. Gonzalez who knew from the symptoms and experience that I have asthma and prescribed both an inhaler and nebulizer for me to prevent further complications which allow me an opportunity to continue playing sports. Furthermore, I began succeeding playing sports, and grateful for Dr.

Throughout the years knowledge about asthma has grown, as well as treating it effectively. Over 300 million people are said to be victims of this disease with another 100 million being estimated by 2025 globally (Currie and Baker, 2012). In the United Kingdom, asthma is increasingly becoming one of the leading disease affecting individual of different age, ethnicity, race and gender. British Lung Foundation (2011) stated that it is more common at childhood stage and can also occur at a later age. According to Asthma UK (2014) asthma in men is less prevalence than it is in women and children troubled more with asthma than adults. Recent data in the UK shows that in children and occupational asthma in adult is on the rise with an estimate

Growing up with asthma since a very young age, I cannot participate in sports and have to take asthma medications every day. I get used to ensure my inhalers are in my bag before going anywhere and seasonal allergies following up with runny nose or nasal congestion. However I still

The day I was born my family member asked me, “she’s coughing her lungs out, is she okay?”. But they were not necessarily wrong” at the time of my birth, I looked weak and was having shortness of breath. However, the doctors were unsure and believed at that time that my asthma was just temporary and would go away overtime, however it did not. Slowly, as time progressed one day I had a moment where I was having trouble breathing. I coughed and coughed and could not catch me breathe. There I was born, a premature baby, March 21st 1998. Although, the doctors had notified my parents that premature babies worry are at higher risk of asthma.

Symptoms Having Asthma can affect a person in a number of ways. The physical symptoms can range from the occasional cough all the way to life-threatening cases which are not being able to breathe. The seriousness and frequency of asthma symptoms is all dependant on how well the individual can control their Asthma. There are three symptoms of Asthma, the first being airway obstruction. Allergic substances and environmental triggers make a chain of muscle surrounding the airways tighten, and air cannot move freely. So my theory for this type of symptom would be; if a person was running through a park surrounded with many blossoming flowers, they began to sneeze and became short of breath would be because of the pollen floating around in the air. The second symptom is inflammation; with this type people have red swollen bronchial tubes, which are the airways of the lungs. This inflammation is thought to add greatly to the long-term damage Asthma can cause to the lungs. So my understanding for this type would be; a person has had inflammation for years and now has severe damage to his lungs. So therefore, treating this inflammation would be to the key to managing Asthma in the long run. The third symptom is airway irritability; the airways for people with this type are extremely sensitive. The airways tends to overreact and narrow due even the smallest triggers like pollen or animal dander, My theory for this type would be; If a person has got a new with really messy hair that

According to the fundamental burden of allergic rhinitis on global health, Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines have been developed to provide evidence based recommendations for the management of allergic rhinitis and asthma coexistence (2, 6). Physicians’ unawareness and unfamiliarity with guidelines and lack of positive attitude toward application of guidelines have key role in the mismanagement of this disorder (7).

Epidemiology According to a 2012 report the incidence of adults with asthma ranges from 5.8-11.1% across the states.10 According to the report, those reporting asthma have anywhere from a mild to a severe form of the disease, the latter causing exacerbations or attacks. According to this report, asthma incidence has increased from 2001 to 2010. At least 4% of the worldwide population is afflicted with asthma.11 Depending upon how

Hi Jackie! My names Danielle D'Alesio and I'm a sprinter and long jumper from McDonough Georgia! I don't know if you will ever read this message but lately I've been struggling with asthma. In practice I've tried and tried to keep up with some of the athletes on the team and in the winter I was totally fine with reps of 400s no problem at all. However when the spring season hit all of sudden one day it became a struggle to breathe. Over and over my coaches told me to stand up and catch my breath telling me I was fine but as much as I took my inhaler I try and not complain and make excuses. I came across your story online seeing your struggles with asthma and I wanted to ask for tips on how you managed yours over the years. Thank you for your

1. Discuss the pathophysiology of asthma. The pathophysiology of Asthma includes inflammation of the airway. The way in which this works is from an irritant which can include dust, pollen, cedar, or cat hair. When a reaction occurs, the airways become inflamed and narrow. The narrowing occurs because once the inflammatory response is triggered by an irritant, histamines, immunoglobulin E antibodies, and leukotrienes are released. Because of this, mucous production occurs. Since the bronchioles are inflamed and narrow, breathing becomes difficult. Wheezing sounds can be heard due to the lack of air being able to easily move in and out of the narrowed bronchioles.

Review of Related Literature and Critical Appraisal Asthma is a chronic airway disease that can be difficult to manage, resulting in poor outcomes and high costs (Kuhn et al., 2015). It is characterized by episodes of expiratory airflow obstruction, which occurs in response to multiple stimuli or triggers. Asthma is a
