Causes of Asthma Attack and Symptoms

The exact causes of asthma are still unknown. Firstly, genetic factors and environmental influences in the development of athma disease play a role. In addition, include allergic respiratory symptoms such as hay fever among the strongest risk factors for asthma development.

The exact interaction between genetic factors and various risk factors in the first years of life, which eventually leads to the development of asthma, but is known only in its infancy.

When asthma attack the bronchial inflammation irritated swells considerably. An increased production of tenacious mucus narrows the airways further. In addition, stretches muscles of the smaller airways (bronchi and bronchioles), together spasmodically. These processes complicate breathing, especially exhaling, and worsen the oxygenation of the body.

Asthma causes because various stimuli can trigger acute asthma attack :

• Non-specific stimuli: All asthmatics are a number of stimuli (triggering stimuli affected). These include physical exertion, cold, cigarette smoke, perfumes and air pollution.
• Specific stimuli are mainly pollen, dust, animal dander, mold and some foods. These attractions are called allergens.
• Other factors include inflammation respiratory tract, caused by viruses or bacteria, or certain pain killers (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid / aspirin).

We must distinguish between bronchial asthma disease and acute asthma attack. The symptoms of asthma depend Read more…
