There are a broad range of asthma symptoms that can plague those who suffer with inflammatory diseases. The most common symptoms associated with respiratory disorders are coughing, tightness in the chest area, shortness of breath, and wheezing. But, there are many other symptoms that can point to inflammatory problems or the onset of an attack. Every individual diagnosed with inflammatory disorders will exhibit different asthma symptoms and getting the right asthma treatments plan will mean knowing what symptoms to be alerted to and what triggers can negatively effect breathing. Understanding the nature of asthma will help those who suffer with it recognize the conditions which contribute to airway inflammation. Together with their doctors, they can begin to address asthma treatments and put a plan of action into play to keep the disorder under manageable control.
Many adults and children that have inflammatory disorders of the lungs and airways exhibit a sound which is made when air is trying to move through the chests airways. When the airways have become tight with inflammation air whistles as it struggles to get through. This high-pitched sound is commonly referred to as wheezing. Wheezing is one of the most common asthma symptoms. However, wheezing does not always have to be present to make a correct diagnosis. The unique sound of a wheeze may not be detectable in very young children and there is a condition called cough variant asthma that does not exhibit a wheeze when a patient is unable to move air through the bronchial tubes.
During an asthma attack, the muscles that surround the airways tighten and spasm, filling with excess mucus due to inflammation. This is called Bronchospasm. Everyone diagnosed with Bronchospasms will have different asthma symptoms and therefore require different asthma treatments. As Bronchospasm activity increases, symptoms could change or increase in intensity as well. These symptoms could include a chronic cough, difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, or chest pain. Some patients will have signs that seem less obvious, such as skin color changes, dark circles under the eyes, itchy or watery eyes, stroking the chin or throat, sneezing, headache, or fever. Children can become irritable or extremely tired with the onset of Bronchospasms.
To keep an inflammatory disease under control, those diagnosed with it will need to be aware of what factors can trigger any of the symptoms listed above. The onset of asthma is much like an allergic reaction, and allergens can trigger an attack very quickly. Triggers can include a viral respiratory infection or other illnesses that are respiratory related. Some have asthma induced by exercise, while others have Bronchospasms as a result of environmental allergens. The most common environmental allergens that significantly affect people with respiratory disorders are mold, animal dander (especially cat dander), dust mites, and various outdoor inhalants. Environmental changes and weather changes can also trigger respiratory problems. Tobacco smoke and air pollution are major contributing factors and should be avoided by all persons who have an inflammatory disease.
The key to avoiding an attack and managing inflammatory disorders effectively is utilizing long-term asthma treatments and altering some life habits or circumstances. Treatment action plans can include different medications and devices to measure airflow. Inhalers have revolutionized the management of Bronchospasms and most doctors will prescribe one or two different inhalers to be used for emergencies and for prevention. Bronchodilator inhalers relax the muscles surrounding the airways and work within just a few moments. Doctors may also prescribe medicines that can reduce swelling in the airways and medicines that block receptor sites that initiate allergic responses.
A peak flow meter is a devise that measures the amount of air coming from the airways. Doctors that want their patients to manage their breathing from home have their patients use a peak flow meter twice daily. The peak flow meter has colored zones that indicate how well an adult or child is breathing that day. Depending upon the zone, patients will have different asthma treatments that they use for that day.
The advancement of medicine has brought those suffering with inflammatory disorders great relief as they can control the amount of attacks they suffer and the intensity of each attack. We can be thankful to God for the knowledge and wisdom that he has given man in the fields of medicine. The Bible teaches us to give the Lord thanks for all things and circumstances. "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
If any of the asthma symptoms listed in this article are being exhibited in any family member, call a doctor and discuss the possibility of respiratory problems and disorders. Getting the correct treatment early can be crucial to keeping the disease under control.
