What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by episodes
or attacks of inflammation and narrowing of small airways in response to
asthma “triggers.” Asthma attacks can vary from mild to life
threatening.
Asthma attacks can involve:
Wheezing
Chest pain or tightness
Shortness of breath
Cough
A combination of these symptoms
Many factors can trigger an asthma attack, including:
Exercise
Allergens
Infections
Cigarette smoke
Some foods and food preservatives, flavorings, and colorings
Abrupt changes in the weather
Chemicals and strong smellsAlthough no cure exists for asthma, these four
management strategies are essential in controlling the disease:
Control of factors that trigger asthma attacks
Education of patients, families, and health professionals
Monitoring of lung condition
Medication
Albuterol is used to treat
or prevent the symptoms of asthma, emphysema, and other breathing conditions;
this medicine is a bronchodilator. Prevention of the symptoms of exercise-induced
asthma may also be done by using this medicine. It can also be used in other
circumstances for treatment, as if determined by your doctor. |
