Extractions: What is asthma? Asthma is a chronic disease. With asthma, breathing is sometimes difficult due to these changes in the lungs: Asthma is not contagious. It is a lifelong disease which can be controlled with daily medications. Although asthma is a chronic disease, anyone with asthma can have an acute (sudden) attack of symptoms. Return to Top What causes an asthma attack? Even if your child has no symptoms, being asthmatic means that there is almost always some inflammation/swelling in the airways. Triggers can cause inflammation to increase, which may cause asthma symptoms to worsen. Every child has different and specific triggers. (See "

What Is Asthma? : Canadian Lung Association
Tells what asthma is and how it affects people. (English and French)
http://www.lung.ca/diseases-maladies/asthma-asthme/what-quoi/index_e.php

Extractions: Asthma is a chronic (long-term) disease that makes it hard to breathe. Asthma can't be cured, but it can be managed. With proper treatment, people with asthma can lead normal, active lives. If you have asthma, your airways (breathing passages) are extra sensitive. When you are around certain things, your extra-sensitive airways can: Become red and swollen - your airways get inflamed inside. They fill up with mucus. The swelling and mucus make your airways narrower, so it's harder for the air to pass through. Become "twitchy" and go into spasm - the muscles around your airways squeeze together and tighten. This makes your airways narrower, leaving less room for the air to pass through. The more red and swollen your airways are, the more twitchy they become. Normal airways Airways of a person without asthma Airways of a person with asthma - redness and swelling (inflammation) Airways of a person with asthma - tightened muscles (bronchospasm) In people without asthma, the muscles around the airways are relaxed, allowing the airways to stay open. There is no swelling or mucus inside the airways.
WHO | Asthma
asthma is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing, which vary in severity and frequency from person to person.
http://www.who.int/topics/asthma/en/

Extractions: Main content WHO/M.Kokic Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing, which vary in severity and frequency from person to person. During an asthma attack, the lining of the bronchial tubes swells, causing the airways to narrow and reducing the flow of air into and out of the lungs. The causes of asthma are not completely understood. However, risk factors for developing asthma include inhaling asthma “triggers”, such as allergens, tobacco smoke and chemical irritants. Asthma cannot be cured, but appropriate management can control the disorder and enable people to enjoy a good quality of life.

Extractions: What Is ... Causes Who Is At Risk Diagnosis ... Links The exact cause of asthma isn't known. Researchers think a combination of factors (family genes and certain environmental exposures) interact to cause asthma to develop, most often early in life. These factors include: If asthma or atopy runs in your family, exposure to airborne allergens (for example, house dust mites, cockroaches, and possibly cat or dog dander) and irritants (for example, tobacco smoke) may make your airways more reactive to substances in the air you breathe. Different factors may be more likely to cause asthma in some people than in others. Researchers continue to explore what causes asthma. Many young children no longer experience the same types of environmental exposures and infections as children did in the past. This affects the way that the immune systems in today's young children develop during very early childhood, and it may increase their risk for atopy and asthma. This is especially true for children who have close family members with one or both of these conditions.

When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swell. This reduces the amount of air that can pass by, and can lead to wheezing sounds. Most people with asthma have wheezing attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some patients have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Still, in others, a cough may be the main symptom. Asthma attacks can last minutes to days and can become dangerous if the airflow becomes severely restricted. In sensitive individuals, asthma symptoms can be triggered by breathing in allergy-causing substances (called allergens or triggers). Triggers include pet dander, dust mites, cockroach allergens, molds, or pollens. Asthma symptoms can also be triggered by respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, tobacco smoke and other pollutants, stress, food, or

Extractions: Back to top UNDERSTANDING ASTHMA You've noticed that your five-year-old always seems to have coughing fits and some shortness of breath while playing on the playground. None of the other children seem to do this. Your 18-month-old seems to wheeze frequently at night and wakes up with coughing fits, but everything seems fine during the day. Every time your two-year-old catches a cold, it turns into several days of wheezing that sometimes requires a visit to the doctor's office. Your ten-year-old occasionally complains of tight chest and difficulty breathing, and can't tolerate active sports as well as the other kids. These are all common situations that fall under the broad category of asthma. Not all of these situations are actually labeled as asthma, but they do warrant evaluation by a physician. This discussion will help you identify if your child may have a form of asthma and how it is best treated and prevented. The first step in learning about asthma is to understand what asthma is, how it affects the lungs, what the major symptoms are, and what the different types are.

Extractions: Search by Condition (A-Z) Search by Topic Educational Brochures ... Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) Asthma is a chronic disease that affects about 20 million Americans. Its primary cause is inflamed airways in the lungs. This inflammation makes the airways smaller, which makes it more difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs. Asthma is the most common serious disease among children. Nine million children in the United States have asthma. Signs that you might have asthma include: Many people have "allergic asthma," which means that allergens - like dust mites, mold, animal dander, pollen and cockroaches - make their symptoms worse. Other things that can affect adult asthma include: Pregnancy : Uncontrolled asthma can harm the health of a mother and her baby.
