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.
