Asthma: Symptoms may vary from patient to patient

 Asthma is a non-infectious disease of children and adults. Its prevalence is higher in children. Asthma occurs when the small airways of the lungs are inflamed and narrowed.

Misdiagnosis

Inhaler medicines for asthma are essential to prevent an attack of the disease.

Some other respiratory diseases also have symptoms similar to asthma. But in such cases, different treatment is needed. So accurate diagnosis of chronic disease is necessary.

One study found that one in three people diagnosed with asthma did not actually have asthma.

Diseases are misdiagnosed; Because not every patient has the same triggers, not the same symptoms.

The urge to take a nap every two steps may not be a symptom of asthma. Asthma can also start while lying down.

The main causes of asthma are:

1) Tobacco consumption

2) Dust, insects

3) Air pollution

4) Cockroaches

5) Mice

6) Fungi

7) Family history

8) Allergies

9) Some food

10) Professional reasons

11) Major triggers are allergies, airborne particles, air pollution

 

Symptoms:

1) Sneezing

2) Cough

3) Phlegm

4) Hear sound in the chest

5) Difficulty breathing at night or in the morning

Treatment: These symptoms should be seen by a respiratory medicine specialist.

He will take the patient's history. He can check your blood sugar. A pulmonary function test or PFT may also be done. Medicines to reduce breathing problems are given before and after breathing problems. And to check whether there is a difference in lung function, how much air the patient takes in and how quickly the air is exhaled.

Remember that:

1) Asthma increases during hot summer.

2) If you have asthma, be careful during the change of season.

3) Avoid foods that cause asthma.

4) Be careful of animal hair, carpet dust, insects and moths.

5) Take inhaler with you when going out.

6) Unconventional treatments or tricks can sometimes cause danger.
