ASTHMA CAUSES

ASTHMA CAUSES

The exact cause of asthma is still not yet found. It is believed that it may be because of a of many and different kinds of reasons.

• Genetics: When changes happen in a person's genes (called mutations)
• These genetal changes are passed on to their childrens.
• One or both parents may have these changes or mutations in their genes
• Some or all of their children may be born with them, which means they inheritedthem.
• These mutations, once they happen, run in families from one generation to the next and are permanent mutations, they change the gene in the DNA.
• These changes can make a person more likely to get certain diseases like asthma.
• In some diseases it may be only one change in one gene that may make a person get that disease, in asthma it may be changes in many different genes that may make a person more likely to get asthma disease.

Asthma (Asthma Bronchiale)

Asthma Bronchiale

Asthma (Asthma Bronchiale) is a disease that hurts the airways (air holes or air pipes) inside the lungs. 

Asthma (Asthma Bronchiale)

• It causes the tissues inside the airways to get swell.
• Asthma also causes the muscles around the airways to become more narrow. Thus this makes it hard for enough air to pass through and for the person to breathe normally.
• Asthma also causes mucus-making cells inside the airways to make more mucous than normal.
• This blocks the airways, which are already very narrow during an asthma attack and makes it even more difficult to breathe.
• A person having an asthma attack often makes wheezing sounds when trying to  breath, this is the sound of air trying to pass through the very narrow airway.
• They also have shortness of breath, which means they cannot take a full deep breath.
• Chest tightness may also happens, which feels like their chest is being squeezed hardly. They may also cough a lot with more muscus outlet.
• Asthma attacks or affected people can be a medical emergency because they can be fatal (cause a person to die). 
• There is no cure for asthma disease. There are treatments such as different kinds of medicines to help people with asthma.
• There are also things that people with asthma can do to help themselves to keep their asthma from getting worse.

Asthma (Asthma Bronchiale)

There are a many of risky factors for getting asthma.The exact reasons for each is not yet clearly understood. Some of the factors are believed to come from genetics. A person inherits genetic mutations from one or both of their parents that may increase the chances of developing asthma. Epigenetics, which are changes in the way a gene acts, may also increase their chances of getting asthma. These epigenetic changes may also be inherited. They may happen when a baby is still growing inside its mother, or during childhood.

ASTHMA - INTRODUCTION

ASTHMA - DEFINITION

ASTHMA (CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE) - is a disease affect the airways that carry air to and from your lungs. Those who suffer from this chronic (long-lasting or recurrent) condition are said to be asthmatic.

• Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs
• Asthma can be control by taking medicines and some changes in their usual lifestyle.
• The inside walls of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed.
• This swelling or inflammation makes the airways extremely sensitive to irritations and increases your susceptibility to an allergic reaction.
• As inflammation causes the airways to become narrower, less air can pass through them, both to and from the lungs.
• Symptoms of the narrowing include wheezing (a hissing sound while breathing), chest tightness, breathing problems, and coughing.
• Asthmatics usually experience these symptoms most frequently during the night and the early morning.
