		<description><![CDATA[Asthma is a long-term, sometimes life-long illness, where the symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and difficulty in breathing. Asthma due to the narrowing of the bronchi is called bronchial asthma so as to distinguish it from cardiac asthma which is due to fluid accumulation and is more likely a symptom of an underlying heart disease. Bronchodilators are designed to deal with this bronchial constriction.
Asthma has recently been given attention due to its increase in prevalence. Research says it affects almost one out of five urban children. Some reports say that children outgrew their asthma when they reached a certain age. There is a possibility of recurrence, however, when they reach the age bracket of 30 to 50. Recurrence and first time occurrences of asthma in adults can be attributed to the toxicity of the environment or the work place.
A non-asthmatic naturally does not carry inhalers with them. They dont really need ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asthma is a chronic condition characterized mainly by shortness of breath. This is due to a variety of factors that include narrowing or inflammation of the airways, and accumulation of mucus. Asthma can be developed through different factors, some of which are: exposure to environments that cause respiratory infections, and it can be inherited.
Asthma is normally a steady-state type of condition. The onset of it where the airways become narrowed is called an asthma attack, episode, or flare up. Most asthma attacks are due to inadvertently inhaling airborne triggers. These particles irritate the lungs or airways upon contact. Thus, the reaction causes the asthmatic to experience the shortness of breath. Most of the time, a whistling sound known as wheezing, is heard.
Asthma symptoms are included in the list of allergic reactions. Even an asthmatic can experience an asthma attack when they inhale an allergen. Allergic reactions involve swelling; typically in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The path that an asthmatic has to follow is long and arduous and it often involves taking a daily dose of medicine and having to also act in a manner that will help prevent the next asthma attack.
If you have ever had the misfortune of suffering from asthma, you know just how much you will have to do in order to find a proper treatment for your woes. Though, a few are lucky enough to identify ways by which to eliminate their asthma related symptoms.
A combination of medicines and the holistic approach is the usual approach and in fact, no two asthmatics are using exactly the same form of treatment. A suitable option for the cure asthma is the natural solutions such as exercise.
It is nigh on impossible to say that any one particular exercise is the cure for asthma. There are many exercises, which are suitable, and the right ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most worrying global health trends in recent years is the number of sufferers needing asthma remedies; this increase in cases is of concern because it is also affected rising numbers of children. Asthma is a chronic, treatable disease that causes narrowing of airways in the lungs in response to allergens, making it difficult to breathe. Respiratory conditions affect the daily life of everyone who suffers with them and severe attacks can even lead to death.
It is very important that those seeking asthma remedies categorically record when the attacks occur and what might have triggered it. This will help narrow down the possible   activating trigger. The specific medical treatment of their condition will be based on how bad the asthma attacks are and the frequency of attacks. Broad classification of treatments are as follows:
*Stopping attacks before they happen
*Medicine to ease attack
*Emergency treatment
The first preventative treatment to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The aim of these quick-glance articles is to serve as quick reference cards for you. You may notice as we carry on with these articles that the first paragraph is always the definition of Asthma. I&#8217;ve done this to make it easier to keep the short overview in perspective.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that makes airways (bronchial tubes) particularly sensitive to irritants, and is characterized by difficulty with breathing.
Diagnosing asthma isn&#8217;t something that is easily done. If you have any of the warning signs for asthma, then it&#8217;s important to seek urgent medical advice from a doctor or allergist as soon as possible. The earlier it&#8217;s diagnosed the earlier the condition can be controlled, and the more successful the treatment can be.
The most common early warning signs of asthma include fatigue, coughing (especially at night), wheezing, difficulty with breathing, tightness in the chest, runny nose, and itchy throat. If ...]]></description>
