Asthma triggers, control and treatment

A mahogany desk at Mingzhen's home, because of its age, had loose four-legged tables and drawers, and the surface was mottled to look bad. Mingzhen invited carpenter master to the home renovation, before and after a total of four or five days. The master on the desk varnish that day, Mingzhen's little nephew to play at home, the results did not take long, the little guy felt breathless, breathing wheeze breath, Mingzhen scared to quickly take him to the hospital, to the Hospital, little guy's breathing has been a lot of calm. The doctor asks what kind of special stimulating smell in the home, Mingzhen only thinks that the carpenter master's paint makes the little guy's asthma attack, but fortunately leaves the dangerous scene immediately, otherwise does not know what happens. 
In fact, asthma is the case, if you usually pay attention to stay away from the induced environment, improve the prevention awareness, once the attack immediately take effective measures, then the asthma is under your control. Next, let us know about asthma in the incentive, control and treatment of knowledge.
Morbid condition
The pathogenesis of asthma is mainly due to bronchial inflammation, but this inflammation is different from the general bronchial inflammation, the general bronchitis is due to infection with bacteria and viruses, and the pathogenesis of asthma inflammation is very complicated, modern medicine failed to complete Know. Such as tobacco, pets, air pollution, dust, hair, pollen, cold, colds, bronchitis, strenuous exercise, stress, cold winds, climate change, work environment or drugs such as Asprin, etc., when you are exposed to some inducing environment , These triggers stimulate your bronchi and cause bronchial inflammation, and then the tracheal swelling, muscle contraction around the tracheal wall to further narrow the airway, making it difficult for the patient's inhaled air to pass through the bronchi, plus inflammation that increases tracheal mucus and is more severe Block the bronchial circulation. 
Asthma attacks, all the patient's symptoms, such as asthma, cough, chest tightness or shortness of breath, are due to bronchial inflammation and contractions caused by airway stenosis, effective asthma treatment must both inflammation and contraction of the two pathogenesis, in order to timely and effective Relieve symptoms. 
In the United States, about 15 million people have asthma, mostly adults, but 5 million of them also have asthma. Asthma and Allergy are closely linked, so if you have a family history of allergies and asthma, your asthma rates are much higher. Although asthma can occur in people of all ages, it usually starts with childhood.
Asthma symptoms
Some warning signs can remind you that asthma is about to break out. However, not everyone has the same symptoms before or during an asthma attack. The following symptoms are common: 
Warning signs / symptoms: • Breathing begins to accelerate; • Breathing; • Coughing; • Chest tightness; The maximum air flow in your lungs drops. Use a hand-held device to measure the peak air exhaled from your lungs. Ask a doctor to help you find your highest personal reading. 
If the symptoms have just started, take steps according to the pre-existing plan to take prompt relief from your doctor to prevent the situation from getting worse. Relax breathing, try to use cough to discharge mucus in the trachea, and then spit mucus in the paper towel. 
Dangerous signs / immediate need of assistance: ◎ difficult to speak; ◎ lips or nails gray or blue; ◎ heart rate; ◎ rapid relief of ineffective drugs; ◎ maximum lung airflow falls into the red alert that you are currently Your lungs have a 50% reduction in airflow than your usual peak. 
At this point, we should take a series of emergency measures, such as taking drugs for relief, which are usually under the guidance of doctors. If the asthma situation still has no turning point, you should call the doctor in time or go to the emergency room for emergency treatment.
Inducing factors
Avoid predisposing factors, some simple precautions, can help you breathe easier and reduce the attack. 
Away from asthma triggers, some of the stimuli in the environment can induce asthma, but everyone's situation is completely different, so you need to look at what factors can cause your asthma attacks and try to avoid exposing yourself to the most common triggers Environment. 
Tobacco smoke For some asthma patients, if there is tobacco smoke in the home and work environment, the symptoms will be aggravated. Therefore, there are smokers in the family who can try their best to quit smoking after they communicate with each other and are usually away from smoking places. 
Dust mites are microorganisms present in bedding, plush furniture and rugs in home environments. Some people with asthma and rhinitis are particularly sensitive to dust mites. 
Pets Many asthmatic patients develop allergies to animal dander or skin and feathers with pet's spit to induce asthma. Do not allow pets to enter your bedroom or avoid keeping pets in your home. 
Cockroaches Cockroaches are also an important factor in inducing asthma, so keep your home clean and avoid being invaded by cockroaches. 
Indoor Molds If the bedroom is well ventilated and bleach is often used to remove molds from furniture surfaces, do not forget that mold is also a contributing cause of some asthma attacks. 
Pollen If you are allergic to pollens and outdoor molds, tell your doctor that your doctor will develop the appropriate anti-allergy treatment for you. 
Activity / Exercise If you are asthmatic due to exercise and remember to take your prescription medication, your doctor will tell you how to take asthma medication before exercising. 
Other triggers 
◎ Some medications such as aspirin and beta-blockers; 
◎ Sulfites present in foods, such as dried fruit and some beverages like wine; 
◎ Some Chemical or dusty work environment, may irritate your bronchus, or cause allergic reactions; 
◎ infection, infection is an important incentive for asthma, so remember to inject flu, pneumonia vaccine each year, can be effective for people of any age Preventive effect.
Take the initiative to take action
Think about it, is that asthma control you, or are you going to control asthma? Have you carefully observed your condition and documented and even documented the triggers and symptoms of asthma attacks, constantly reminding yourself to develop a lifestyle that avoids the onset of asthma by exposure to triggers or special activities. 
When your asthma is actively controlled by you, your life is as normal as: 
◎ no asthma symptoms at all or most of the time; 
◎ physical activity without any asthma symptoms; 
◎ no delay in school or work due to asthma attacks; 
◎ because there is no asthma symptoms, so sleep at night undisturbed. 
If you inhaled rapid-acting medications twice a week using an inhaler to relieve asthma symptoms (except during or after exercise), your asthma control is not good.
