Asthma allergy symptoms

The symp­toms of aller­gic asthma are eas­ily ver­ify that the prin­ci­ple of asth­matic patients aller­gic dis­eases. When patients are treated for aller­gies, asthma has not improved. Allergy refers to an over­re­ac­tion in the immune sys­tem in response to bod­ily con­tact with cer­tain for­eign sub­stances. And “exag­ger­ated because these for­eign sub­stances are gen­er­ally viewed by the body as harm­less and not pre­sented in non-allergic response. Peo­ple aller­gic orga­ni­za­tions rec­og­nize the for­eign sub­stance and the immune sys­tem is acti­vated. Sub­stances that cause aller­gies are called aller­gens.” Exam­ples of aller­gens are pollen, dust mites, mold, hair and diet. Asthma is a breath­ing prob­lem that results from inflam­ma­tion and spasms of the air­ways in the lungs (bronchi).

The inflam­ma­tion causes a nar­row­ing of the air pas­sages, which lim­its the flow of air into and out of the lungs. Asthma is most often, but not always, related to aller­gies. Com­mon symp­toms include  short­ness of breath      wheez­ing     cough­ing   and chest tight­ness Symp­toms of asthma strike when your air­ways undergo the three changes described above. Some peo­ple can go a long time between asthma episodes while oth­ers have some symp­toms every day. Com­mon symp­toms of asthma include:

* Fre­quent cough, espe­cially at night

* Short­ness of breath

* Wheez­ing

* Chest tight­ness, pain, or pressure

Asthma and aller­gies often go hand in hand. Asthma is a dis­ease in the branches of the tra­chea (bronchi) that carry air in and out of the lungs. There are var­i­ous types of asthma. Aller­gic asthma is a type caused by aller­gies (eg pollen or mold spores from asthma). Accord­ing to the Amer­i­can Acad­emy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunol­ogy, suf­fer half the 20 mil­lion Amer­i­cans have asthma or aller­gic asthma. The air is nor­mally absorbed by the body through the nose and tra­chea and bronchi. The end of the tubes are tiny air sacs called alve­oli, the fresh air sup­ply (oxy­gen) in the blood.
