Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways,
characterized by periodic attacks of sudden shortness of breath
and chest tightness accompanied by wheezing, and coughing. Asthma
is a chronic disease, in other words, you live with it every day.
Asthma causes breathing problems and they are called attacks or
episodes of asthma. Asthma can even cause death.
However, Asthma can be controlled. You can do it!
When you know how to control asthma, it no longer controls you.
To control asthma, you need to know what starts the attack.
Most asthma symptoms start when your airways are
bothered by something. These things are called triggers. Your
symptoms will be reduced when you stay away from or control your
triggers. Your asthma will be more controlled!
Asthma is found in 3-5% of adults and 7-10% of children. Half
of the people with asthma develop it before age 10, and most develop
it before age 30. Asthma symptoms can decrease over time, especially
in children. Many people with asthma have an individual and/or
family history of allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
or eczema. Others have no history of allergies or evidence of
allergic problems.
