Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with symptoms of coughing (wheezing), shortness of breath, chest burning, along with airway obstruction (airway narrowing)
Based on the survey, people with asthma in the Asia Pacific region in 2000, more than 34% of patients fell ill during the day and 27% were attacked at night. Most people with asthma experience airway narrowing caused by stimuli from a variety of stimuli, the Mass: the cold air, dust, cigarette smoke, pollutants, exercise / strenuous exercise, medication and food.Wheezing is a common symptom. Of census data 30% of people had experienced wheezing at some time. In many cases wheezing is temporary and occurs after a viral infection in normal people. Inflammation of the airways causes the nerve endings open and easily influenced by the effects of harmful stimuli such as cigarette smoke and dust particles.
Mechanisms of asthma attacks is still unclear. Generally, people with asthma have a marked hyperactivity bronchi smooth muscle contraction sa; Luran breath. In Europe and America there is a tendency mentioned asthma as an inflammatory disease or lung airways because research shows that the degree of hyperactivity bronchi closely associated with airway inflammation. In patients with mild asthma who had been free of symptoms for months there is still evidence of inflammation in the airway wall. Asthma that occurs during childhood vary widely. Sex ratio in children around 7 years is shown that boys 1-2 times more likely to develop asthma than girls. Asthma in adults did not show much variation in children's spontaneous. Smokers (smoker Coughs) with high reactivity bronchus would be at risk of chronic airflow obstruction. Therefore, patients with asthma should avoid smoking. The other characteristic of asthma is the degree of airflow obstruction and vary throughout the day. Untreated asthma patients usually show a difference of at least 15% between morning and evening. Patients who have asthma often complain of waking in the night. UK study shows more than half of asthma sufferers sleep disturbed by asthma attacks that occur more than once within 1 week.
