Asthma Symptoms

July 18, 2008

For those who have asthma, they typically have an abnormality that causes the airways in the lung and throat to tighten, become inflamed or be filled with mucus. The typical symptoms for asthma are frequent coughing or wheezing at night, shortness of breath and/or tightness of chest and pain or pressure in the chest.

When it comes to the symptoms of the asthma, it differs from person to person, in which a person may have some symptoms of asthma and others have only one or two symptoms of asthma. Also the asthma attacks may differ from attack to attack, with one attack being severe and the next one being a mild attack and some people may go without having any attacks for long or short periods of time, making asthma attacks sporadic and unexpecting for the infected person.

Also for most asthma sufferers, they may only experience asthma attacks during periods of exercise and/or colds. Generally, mild asthma attacks are more commonplace, with the airways closing for a few minutes to an hour or two and for the less common but potentially deadly severe asthma attacks, which the airways can be closed for hours, medical attention should be sought immediately. For these reasons, a person should tell the difference between a mild asthma attack and a severe attack, so they can respond and have it treated accordingly.

The early signs of asthma are usually not enough to prevent its sufferers from completing their daily activities but these signs should be taken to notice with some concern, since the symptoms can get worst and require immediate medical care. These early signs of asthma include but are not limited to: frequent coughing (including at nighttime), constant wheezing or coughing after physical activities, frequent shortness of breath, constant fatigue and tiredness and sleeping troubles.

The asthma symptoms in children are usually the same as in adults, but the complications of those symptoms are more severe in children, since they lack a strong immune system to fight the bacteria that causes asthma. The typical age for a child to get asthma is five years old and the numbers for children getting asthma are increasing yearly.

Asthma symptoms can be treated by the usage of inhalants, oxygen supplies and/or medications. If you or anyone you know has asthma and you are not feeling up to par, see a doctor and find out the best ways to be treated of this life-threatening disease.
