Asthma's Store Research Paper

R.J. is a 15-year-old boy with a history of asthma diagnosed at age 8. His asthma episodes are triggered by exposure to cats and various plant pollens. He has been using his albuterol inhaler 10 to 12 times per day over the last 3 days and is continuing to wheeze. He normally needs his inhaler only occasionally (2 or 3 times per week). He takes no other medications and has no other known medical conditions. Physical examination reveals moderate respiratory distress with a respiratory rate of 32, oximetry 90%, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) 60% of predicted, and expiratory wheezing.

History of Present Illness: Ms. Johnson is a very pleasant 66-year-old woman who was previously evaluated in this office by Elvira Aguila, MD for the diagnosis of asthma. She was last seen in January 2015. She states that overall, she has done well. However, over the last two to three weeks, she has noticed increasing shortness of breath as well as productive cough, rhinorrhea and postnasal drip. She states that she has been using her rescue inhaler above and beyond what is normal for her up to 10 times a day yesterday and she states that she has had some improvement in her symptoms with her short acting bronchodilator. She denies any fevers or chills.

Your airway has smooth muscles around the outside of the airway tubes also known as bronchial tubes. The tubes are open allowing air to flow freely; during an asthma attack those muscles begin to tighten that is called a bronchospasm restricting the airflow. During an asthma attack the lungs also become inflamed and the mucus in the tubes begins to become thicker and builds up, this makes it even more difficult for air to pass through the opening of the tubes. With the airway being restricted and the mucus build up causes a wheezing sound and shortness of breath and difficulty in inhaling and exhaling air (WebMD).

At various stages of asthma, preventative measures can be used to control or alleviate the symptoms associated with this disease. Education is an important component to every intervention phase, particularly in primary prevention, because the patient is encouraged to be proactive with their personal health in order to avoid and control the triggers. Prescribed medication, such as an inhaler, and an action plan that is individualized to the specific care of a particular patient is essential in the secondary prevention phase. Finally, in the tertiary prevention phase, the care is directed not only at the common asthmatic symptoms and triggers but also at the complications that result from long-term suffering of this disease. This paper focuses on environmental factors which trigger asthma, with specific focus on children from infancy to 16 years of age in low-income housing, and how the appropriate measure can minimize the triggers and symptoms. The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the example we will use.

“Sarah is at Children's Hospital, in the ICU”. Those are the words that changed my life. Sarah is extremely sick and it's making me want to be smart, strong, and kind. My sister, Sarah had lung failure when she was in 7th grade, she was hospitalized and stayed at Children’s Hospital in the ICU for around a week. Nearly a year later they found out what was wrong with her, she has Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia and Severe Asthma. When I saw her get sick I saw her being strong, nice, and keeping up on school work she made me want to have these qualities as well.

Relieving: Has been using albuterol more often than prescribed has been using every 2-3 hours consistently instead of the prescribed every 4-6 hours as needed. Reports the albuterol provides relief for

Every day, 30,000 people have an asthma attack. But what is asthma? Asthma is a condition in which a person’s airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is minor, and it is just a nuisance. For others, it can be a major problem, that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. Asthma can't be cured, but you can control it. If you know what triggers your asthma, you can simply stay away from those things. But when something triggers your asthma there are ways to control those symptoms. One way to cope with asthma is Long-term asthma control medications like Inhaled corticosteroids, Leukotriene

In the mid-summer of 2000, I was "Twin B" born at 38 weeks. When I was a-week old, I developed a high temperature fever. After changing my formula four times, my parents found out that I was allergic to milk proteins. A few weeks later, I developed a cough that literally took my breath away, and I would cough so much that my face would turn blue. Doctors had given me several types of nebulizer treatments in order to deliver a water vapor medicine into my lungs, which did not work. Then, I lost my voice due to vocal-cord paralysis, which tied ends to a whooping cough. As a result, I was hospitalized for more than a month. When I came home, I still had no voice to cry like a normal baby. Thus began my condition of asthma, evidently inherited

Asthma is a disease that affects over 25 million people in the United States, including 7 million children. Asthma affects the lower airways and is characterized by bronchial hyperresponsiviness and decreased airflow. People suffer from asthma attacks, which cause the lungs to become swollen and inflamed thus making it difficult to breath. These attacks range in severity from mild, moderate or severe. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest pain. These symptoms can affect people on a daily basis or on occasion (Zanni, 2013).

sthma is inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. People who have asthma experience some of the common symptoms which are coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, pain or pressure in the chest. Some people with asthma may experience asthma attacks frequently and others can go for extended periods without symptoms. When a MA is taking vitals your asthma could reflect on your vitals. They could hear the wheezing.

Since I am asthmatic and allergic to basically any animal with fur, growing up I never got the opportunity to have a pet besides fishes who did not live very longer and were not exactly that much fun. As I have gotten older my asthma has improved along with my tolerance towards animals with fur which is why last year I decided to contact a woman in Ontario to purchase a puppy without my parents knowledge. After showing my parents pictures of her they were pretty easily convinced that she would be a great addition to our family but made my siblings and I promise that we would help take care of her. The first picture shown above was taken when she was only 6 weeks old and was the first picture ever taken of her as well as the first image my family

Asthma is a chronic disorder of the respiratory system that involves airway obstruction, bronchial hyper responsiveness and inflammation of airways that is commonly caused by allergens or other forms of sensitivity. The causes of asthma are not fully understood but the underlying factors that contribute to the onset of it have been confirmed. Genetic factors along with exposure to environmental factors such as inhalable substances or particles may inhibit the onset of an allergic reaction or irritate the airways causing an episode of asthma. Common irritants that contribute to an asthma attack include;

Asthma treatment is an area of ongoing research that has provided both pharmaceutical and herbal remedies as potential treatments for the elimination of symptoms, and preferable the condition altogether. An increasing number of patients are seeking natural alternatives for primary treatment. Numerous studies have been conducted by herbalists correlating the use of particular herbs and the reduction of asthma symptoms in patients.

When I was a child, my body was so weak that different illnesses assaulted me for a long time. One of my serious illness is asthma. In the past ten years, there are still no effective methods to deal with asthma. Therefore, I suffer from asthma all the time as a young boy. This is a feeling that can’t be easily explained but do a lot of harm to my body and hearts. At that time, I was too young to describe the feeling. However, I could tell the detailed feeling recently when I caught a cold and came together with asthma. It was a night that the asthma attacked me. I can barely breath through my nose that I must largely open my mouth to catch a little fresh air. And the most hopeless thing is that this little fresh air can’t totally get into my lung, which makes me feel that my respiratory system suddenly shut down. In addition, I can’t lay down because the weasand will be extruded so that I sit on the bed the whole night until I feel a little bit better. This experience is still
