Asthma Persuasive Speech

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 breath (Massachusetts Department of Public Health, 2009). If asthma is left uncontrolled, it leads to further wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, tiredness, and stress. (Massachusetts Department of Public Health, 2009).

Asthma is a long-term lung disease. Those with asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs which triggers a flare up. When this flare up happens the muscle around the airways squeeze tight and the airways swell, become narrows and produce more mucus. (Anon., 2016) All these things make it harder for a person to breathe. Asthma effects the human body’s respiratory system. Asthma causes a spasm and constriction of the bronchial passages and the swelling and the inflammation of the mucous lining. The body responds by defence cells from the immune system, which causes the airways to swell and the muscles surrounding the airways to contract. Which is what cuts off the airflow. While a person is in asthma attack, the asthmatic cannot breathe which

Asthma is when someone has trouble breathing. This is caused by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs. It can be triggered by allergies or sensitivities to something specific. Your bodies become stimulated and the through constricts, giving a feeling of not being able to breath. This can become very severe and is able to kill.

I am the grand nephew of a grand uncle whom I would have never met should they still be alive. I am the tradition that lives through a name. I am the son of two people who at some point loved each other. I am the brother of a rebel, a storyteller, and a lawyer. I am the traveler that visits from time to time bringing hugs, kisses, and a listening ear. I am a stranger to those I call “friends,” and a friend to those I call “strangers.” I am a mentor that cares, but that supposedly knows more. I am a mentee that disappears when there is conflict. I am a student that wants to teach. I am a human being that wants to live. I am a lover of wisdom. I am the product of love and affection. I am a person in the crowd.

Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. Asthma can be controlled by taking medicine and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack. You must also remove the triggers in your environment that can make your asthma worse.

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects the airways, which is comprised of tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. People who experience difficulties breathing have inflamed airways. The inflammation causes the tubes to swell and become sensitive, especially when inhaling strong substances. As a result, the airways tighten and the muscles around the tubes become swollen and narrower. In addition, cells in the airways might produce more mucus. This sticky and thick mucus makes it even more difficult for air to pass into the lungs.

Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult. With asthma, there is inflammation of the air passages that results in a temporary narrowing of the airways that carry oxygen to the lungs. When this inflammation occurs, the asthma symptoms start to show, such as, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Even though there are many treatments for asthma symptoms, it is still a very serious disease that affects more than 22 million Americans and brings nearly 2 million E.R. visits per year. Asthma can be lived with very well as long as proper treatment measures are taken (Wrongdiagnosis).

It is derived from the Greek word “Aazein”, meaning to breathe sharply (Medicalnewstoday). Asthma is a respiratory condition in which the airways that lead to the lungs become inflamed and constrict thus reducing airflow and causing a shortness of breath along with a “wheezing” sound. Another familiar symptom is coughing, however this normally occurs at nighttime. If certain substances enter the airways it can cause irritation which in turn will inflame the airways which creates a much smaller path for air to flow. Symptoms can range from minor to severe. The airways also create mucus. Mucus is a thick slimy substance, which can also worsen the asthma if it sits in the airways to the lung if they are constricting. Asthma is classified as a chronic (long-term) lung disease. In the United States it affects over 25 million people, 7 million of which are children (nih). Asthma will never go away; even a healthy person with asthma can have symptoms occur with no warning. The strength of the symptoms can vary from mild asthma to severe asthma, and they can change abruptly in minutes. Occasionally if symptoms become more severe or worsen they can result to an asthma attack which makes it nearly impossible to breathe and if not treated immediately may become fatal.

1. Asthma as a word means, “To breathe hard.” Just as the definition of the word, people with asthma have a hard time breathing, tightness in the chest and wheezing can occur. It is also a chronic disease of the respiratory system, which the respiratory passages in the lungs become oversensitive and overactive. (i)

Asthma is as a result of allergic reaction that leads to blockage of bronchitis. This reduces the air flow in and out of someone's lungs. The chest feels blocked which leads to wheezing. Cold air, dust, pollen dust, humidity, some food preservatives, certain medications, stress and elevated emotions are triggers to bouts of asthmatic

Emphysema and Asthma are progressive diseases where the lung tissue is gradually destroyed and narrowing of the air passages obstructs oxygen uptake, causing shortness of breath. The lung damage caused by Emphysema typically occurs as a result of long-term inhalation of irritant gases and particles, such as tobacco smoke.

Asthma affects people of all ages, but it most often starts during childhood. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways, which are tubes that carry air into and out of your lungs allowing one to take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. The swelling also can worsen, making the airways even narrower and the ability to breathe more difficult. Sometimes asthma symptoms are mild and go away on their own or after minimal treatment with asthma medicine, but other times symptoms continue to get worse. When symptoms get more intense and more symptoms occur, you 're having what is commonly known as an asthma attack. During an asthma attack you are in complete panic and the swelling in your airways reaches a point where it is no possible to take air into the lungs. If action is not taken to reduce the swelling of the airways in order to restore breathing, someone could die of asphyxiation, or the lack of oxygen. The number of people being diagnosed with asthma is on the rise, especially in the rates of children developing symptoms of asthma at a young age.

What is asthma? • Disease of the lungs that makes it hard to breathe. • Breathing tubes in the lungs that carry oxygen tighten. • This makes it hard for air to pass through the lungs.

About six years ago, my father passed away after several years of deteriorating health. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (pd), however, it was not Parkinson's that killed him, but the side effects of the drugs he was prescribed that eventually led to his death. Each year an estimated forty million people are made sick by the medicines prescribed to them. A big segment of people is having adverse reactions to medicines being given and how they are being prescribed.

Asthma is a long term non-communicable lung disease that inflames and narrows your airways. If you have asthma then you will most likely have issues with chest tightness (feels like someone is wringing out your insides). You will also have shortness of breath, for example: if you walk up a flight of stairs, you could be breathing like you just ran a marathon. You also tend to have more mucus because
