  2. Asthma- How Your Airways Get Obstructed

  3. “Asthma is a condition in which the lining of your airways swell and tightens the surrounding muscles. Mucus fills the airways that carry oxygen to the lungs, which results in coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. If you are living with asthma, take an active role in withinternal medicine doctors inmanaging its symptoms and the proper treatment to avoid long term problems to live well with this condition.”

  4. Types & Symptoms of Asthma

  5. Occupational Asthma This type of asthma is induced by workplace irritants such as dust, gases, fumes, industrial chemicals, dyes, rubber latex or animal proteins. Its symptoms are a runny nose, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, cough, and eye irritation.

  6. Exercise-Induced Asthma  Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is triggered by physical exertion or exercise. It affects people within a few minutes of starting exercise and worsens 10-15 minutes after ending up physical activity.

  7. Cough-Variant Asthma (CVA) This type of asthma is a dry, severe cough. Asthma triggers for CVA are generally exercise and respiratory infections. This type of asthma is broadly underdiagnosed and undertreated. If you have a persistent cough, it is best to see your internist.

  8. Allergic Asthma Allergic or extrinsic asthma results from allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander or spores. It often goes hand-in-hand with seasonal allergies and may lead to coughing, runny nose, and watery eyes.

  9. Non-Allergic Asthma  Non-allergic or intrinsic asthma is triggered by airborne irritants that are not related to allergies such as air fresheners, perfumes, burning wood, household cleaning products or viral illnesses.

  10. Night Time (Nocturnal) Asthma Your asthma symptoms of a cough, wheezing and trouble breathing worsen at night time as this type of asthma is majorly influenced by the sleep-wake cycle. Heartburn, dust mites and pet dander may cause asthma at night.

  11. Asthma Triggers & Risk Factors Some of the factors that cause asthma: Pollen • The family history of asthma or genetics • Exposure to allergens and irritants • Strong emotions and stress • Extreme weather conditions • Food and food additives • Certain medications like aspirin, naproxen • Viral infections • Smoking Smoking Exercise Pollution Food Pets Medicine Infection Stress
