In order to receive treatment for asthma you need to see your doctor, who can prescribe medication such as preventers and relievers, which are taken through an inhaler. The relievers are used when the asthma attack is taking place; it works by relaxing the muscles of the airway, allowing the person to breath more easily. So, the relievers help to alleviate the symptoms, but cannot help to prevent them. The preventers are used to minimise the risk of having an asthma attach by reducing the amount of inflammation in the airways. It should be used every day, as instructed by the doctor or nurse, with or with out having the symptoms of an asthma attack in order to keep the inflammation of the airways under control. As they may be inflamed and producing mucus even if the symptoms are not present at the time. In case the inhalers are not keeping the asthma under control, the patient may be prescribed steroid tablets to settle down the wheezing and breathlessness. Apart from taking regular medication, individuals [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/how-to-prevent-asthma-attack/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What is Asthma?</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/what-is-asthma</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/what-is-asthma#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:40:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Respiratory Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[asthma]]></category> <category><![CDATA[asthma trigger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[causes of asthma]]></category> <category><![CDATA[respiratory condition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[respiratory disorder]]></category> <category><![CDATA[symptoms of asthma]]></category> <guid

What causes Asthma? Asthma can be caused by environmental and/or genetic factors. It may be triggered by external stimulants, such as antigens, a substance that causes the immune system in sensitive individuals to overreact, which responds by producing an overload of antibodies. Allergic individuals can be over sensitive to tobacco smoke, air pollutants (such as smoke or fumes), cold or warm air, perfume, pet dander, dust (including dust mite excrements) or moist air. Asthma symptoms can also be caused by emotional stress, colds, flu, respiratory infection, exercise, exertion or some other allergies. What are the symptoms of Asthma? An asthma attack irritates the airways causing it to contract, become swollen and in some cases produce excessive amount of mucus. The onset of an asthma attach may be sudden. As the airways carry air in and out of the lungs, their constriction and inflammation make it difficult to breathe, giving a sense of tightness in the chest. The common symptoms of an Asthma episode are: dydpnea (shortness [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/what-is-asthma/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Asthma Medications</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/asthma-medications</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/asthma-medications#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:05:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Respiratory Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[allergy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[asthma]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breathing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bronchodilators]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Inhaled Corticosteroids]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leukotriene modifiers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lungs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Theophylline]]></category> <guid

Indeed there are many new long-term asthma medications being developed that have fewer side effects and can be used with more severely asthmatic patients than the older styles of medicine. Despite the fact that asthma is the most prevalent of chronic respiratory disorders in children and adults around the world, there is still no cure for this disease. However, there is an increasing number of asthma medications and options for those that have the condition. Asthma may be more problematic in some individuals than others, so not all people with asthma will have to use all the various treatments. There is usually a certain amount of experimentation needed to determine the exact levels of asthma medications and preventative treatments that need to be used to successfully manage the condition. Often asthma becomes worse at certain times of the year or in certain places or environments, so keeping a good and concise record of what was happening, where the individuals were and what changes were occurring in the environment when the asthma worsened, can help medical professionals [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/asthma-medications/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
