Tag: asthma

In asthma, the air passages in the lungs become narrow due to inflammation and tightening of the muscles around the small airways. This causes asthma symptoms such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

    Asthma is relatively common in Bangladesh due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Here are some key reasons:

    Environmental Factors:-
    -Air Pollution: High levels of air pollution, particularly in urban areas, contribute significantly to respiratory issues, including asthma.
    -Indoor Pollution: Use of biomass fuels for cooking and heating in poorly ventilated homes can lead to indoor air pollution, exacerbating asthma symptoms.

    Genetic and Familial Factors:-
    -Family History: A family history of asthma or other allergic conditions increases the risk.
    -Genetic Predisposition: Certain genetic factors make individuals more susceptible to asthma.

    Lifestyle and Socioeconomic Factors:-
    -Smoking: Both active smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke are significant risk factors.
    -Diet and Nutrition**: Poor nutrition and dietary habits can influence asthma prevalence.
    -Crowded Living Conditions: Overcrowded living conditions can increase the spread of respiratory infections, which can trigger asthma.

    Allergens and Infections:-
    -Allergens: Common allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and mold are prevalent and can trigger asthma attacks.
    -Respiratory Infections: Frequent respiratory infections, especially in children, can lead to the development of asthma.

    Climate and Seasonal Changes:
    -Humidity and Temperature: High humidity and temperature fluctuations can exacerbate asthma symptoms.

    Addressing these factors through improved air quality, better healthcare access, and public health initiatives can help manage and reduce the prevalence of asthma in Bangladesh.

    Intrinsic asthma, also known as non-allergic or non-atopic asthma, is a type of asthma that is not triggered by allergic reactions. Unlike extrinsic asthma, which is triggered by allergens such as pollen, pet dander, or dust mites, intrinsic asthma is usually caused by non-allergic factors such as respiratory infections, cold air, exercise, smoke, strong odors, stress, or certain medications. It shares many of the symptoms with allergic asthma, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing, but the underlying triggers are different. If you suspect you have asthma or have concerns about your respiratory health, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

    Bronchial asthma, or simply asthma, is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes the narrowing of the airways, leading to breathing difficulties. To diagnose asthma, your doctor will perform a physical exam to rule out other possible conditions and will ask you questions about your signs and symptoms and about any other health problems. You may be given lung function tests to determine how much air moves in and out as you breathe. These tests may include spirometry, which estimates the narrowing of your bronchial tubes by checking how much air you can exhale after a deep breath and how fast you can breathe out.

    Your doctor may also order additional tests such as allergy testing, nitric oxide test, sputum eosinophils, and others to get a complete picture of how your lungs are functioning.

    Asthma symptoms vary from person to person. You may have infrequent asthma attacks, have symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising — or have symptoms all the time. Asthma signs and symptoms include:

    1. Shortness of breath.
    2. Chest tightness or pain.
    3. Wheezing when exhaling, which is a common sign of asthma in children.
    4. Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing.
    5. Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu.
    Worsening include:

    1. Asthma signs and symptoms that are more frequent and bothersome.
    2. Increasing difficulty breathing, as measured with a device used to check how well your lungs are working (peak flow meter).
    3. The need to use a quick-relief inhaler more often.
    For some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations:

    1. Exercise-induced asthma, which may be worse when the air is cold and dry.
    2. Occupational asthma, triggered by workplace irritants such as chemical fumes, gases or dust.
    3. Allergy-induced asthma, triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, mold spores, cockroach waste, or particles of skin and dried saliva shed by pets (pet dander).
