Asthma Awareness
What Is Asthama?
Asthama is a disease that affects your lungs. It is one of
the most common long-term disesases of children, but adult can have asthama,
too. Asthama causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing at
night or early in morning. Air pollution and viral lung infection may also lead
to asthama. Asthama is a long term problem in the tubes that carry air into
your lungs that can make it hard for you to breathe. These airways get so
narrow that air can’t move freely. It can cause serious wheezing and
breathlessness, known as asthama attacks. There’s no cure, but most people can
control their symptoms. And the majority of kids with asthama eventually grow
out of it.
What causes
Asthama
No one
knows exactly what causes asthma. Asthma tends to run in families and may be
inherited, and environmental factors may also play a key role. Scientists
continue to explore what causes asthma, but we do know that these factors play
an important role in the development of asthma:
Respiratory
Infections. As the lungs develop in infancy and early childhood,
certain respiratory infections have been shown to cause inflammation and damage
the lung tissue. The damage that is caused in infancy or early childhood can
impact lung function long-term.
Allergies. Some people
are more likely to develop allergies than others, especially if one of their
parents has allergies. Certain allergic conditions are linked to people who get
asthma.
Genetics. Asthma
tends to runs in families. Genetics play an important role in causing asthma.
If your mom or dad has asthma, then you are more likely to have asthma too.
Environment. Contact
with allergens, certain irritants, or exposure to viral infections as an infant
or in early childhood when the immune system isn't fully mature have been
linked to developing asthma. Exposure to certain chemicals and dusts in
the workplace may also play a significant role in adult-onset asthma.

Types of Asthma
If you’ve been diagnosed with asthma,
understanding which type you have can help you feel better informed about how
to manage it. But it can be difficult to know which type of asthma you have.
This is because everyone experiences asthma differently, which makes it hard to
put it into exact categories.
Allergic asthma
Allergic
(or atopic) asthma is asthma that’s triggered by
allergens like pollen, pets and dust mites.
About 80% of people with allergic asthma have a related condition
like hay fever, eczema or food allergies.
‘Seasonal’
asthma
Some people have asthma that only flares up at certain times of
the year, such as during hay fever season, or when it’s cold.
While asthma is always a long-term condition, it’s possible to be
symptom-free when your triggers aren’t around.
Occupational asthma
Occupational asthma is asthma that’s caused directly by the work
you do. You might have occupational asthma if:
·
your asthma symptoms started as an adult and
·
your asthma symptoms improve on the days you’re not at work.
Occupational asthma is usually a type of allergic asthma. For
example, if you work in a bakery you might be allergic to flour dust, or if you
work in healthcare, the dust from latex gloves could trigger symptoms.
Non-allergic asthma
Non-allergic asthma, or non-atopic asthma, is a type of asthma
that isn’t related to an allergy trigger like pollen or dust, and is less
common than allergic asthma.
‘Exercise induced’ asthma
Some people find their asthma symptoms are triggered by exercise.
If you have asthma, or your child does, it’s totally
understandable that you might feel anxious about exercising.
Around 90% of people with asthma report getting some symptoms when
they exercise. If you don’t treat them, these symptoms can trigger asthma
attacks.
Childhood asthma
Some children diagnosed with asthma find it improves or disappears
completely as they get older. This is known as childhood asthma.
Bear in mind, though, that it can return later in life.
