Asthma is a lung disease that makes it harder to move air in and out of your lungs. Asthma is chronic. In other words, you live with it every day. It can be serious, evev life threatening. There is no cure for asthma, but it can be managed so you live a normal, healthy life.

Causes

No one knows exactly what causes asthma. Here are some facts: Genetics. Genetics play an important role in causing asthma. If your mom or dad has asthma, then you are more likely to have asthma too. Allergies. Some people are more likely to develop allergies than others, especially if one of their parents has allergies. Certain allergic conditions are linked to people who get asthma. Respiratory Infections. As the lungs develop in infancy and early childhood, certain viral respiratory infections have been shown to cause inflammation and damage the lung tissue.

Environment. Contact with allergens, certain irritants. Exposure to certain chemicals and dusts in the workplace may also play a significant role in adult-onset asthma.

Symptoms

Asthma symptoms can differ for each person, but here are some of the most common: Wheezing. You may notice a whistling sound when you breathe. Sometimes this happens only when you exercise or have a cold. Frequent cough. This may be more common at night. You may or may not cough up mucus. Shortness of breath. This is the feeling that you can't get enough air into your lungs. It may occur only once in a while, or often. Chest tightness. Your chest may feel tight, especially during cold weather or exercise. This can also be the first sign of a flare-up.

Treatment: These are the types of medicines usually prescribed for asthma: Bronchodilators, Anti-Inflammatories, Combination Medicines: inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids.

Antibiotics: People with asthma can have flare-ups that may be caused by bacterial or viral infections. Your doctor may want you to have a prescription for an antibiotic or an anti-viral that you keep on hand. More information: http://www.lung.org
