Rise in Asthma disease and Symptoms of Asthma Exacerbation

Asthma is one of the few diseases that is affecting people equally from all parts of the world. There has been very little discussion about this disease and after decades of study, experts have tried to short list the signs of this disease. Asthma attack has always been under study and when it creates problems in breathing through airways, it is referred as Asthma Exacerbation. To understand the symptoms of the attack, people need to realize that this asthma varies from individual to individual. Anyone of the possible symptoms can cause an attack. Generally Asthma is classified into two categories. These are called as intrinsic asthma and the other is called as extrinsic asthma. There are different triggers for both types of asthma and it is important that both are considered so that exacerbation can be handled effectively.

To start off, one of the symptoms that cause asthma attack is the shortness of breath. Breathing becomes very difficult if a person is attacked from asthma. This shortness of breath is also caused by a number of factors. The list of factors has to deal with the type of asthma. Pollen can cause this attack; also the smoke that comes out from tobacco can be a reason for attack. A number of patients that have felt asthma attack due to breathing problem have also identified that wheezing occurs before the attack. This is just one of the many symptoms of asthma attack.

Asthma exacerbation is also caused due to continuous problem with breathing and leading to coughing and chest pain. Chest pain is caused due to contraction of muscles and breathing is hindered due to contraction of airways. As soon as the person gets to feel these attacks, it is recommended that he may immediately consult doctor as severity can cause death. There are many steps through which exacerbation can be handled. A proper understanding and following of these steps can make the situation easier.

Ways to overcome Exacerbation of Asthma

As the study of Asthma exacerbation has improved, it is now seen that the first thing to do after the attack is to sit on a bed or a sofa or even on ground. Cross your legs and ensure that you have relaxed your muscles. Take a few smaller breaths and then please don’t take a longer breath. Rather take a even smaller breath as the muscle contraction is easily handled due to it. You have to do the process a couple of times so that there is no pressure on your chest and it becomes easier for you to continue breathing.

There are medicines that are recommended for Asthma exacerbation and these medicines can be used if the exercise fails. There is a proper proportion of the medicine and generally it is one third. This will also help us to know the level of the attack. It also creates space for the doctors to deal with the attack and treatment can be done easily if steps are followed.
