Attacking Adult Asthma

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

If you have been dealing with asthma for many years you are not alone. Many people gradually develop asthma symptoms in their adult years, but often times, they never seek the proper care they so desperately need. If you are one of those unfortunate adult asthma suffers, there are some necessary factors to consider that just might help your condition from becoming worse.

What Triggers Your Asthma Attacks

There are many different types of settings and conditions that can and will set off an asthma attack. Many people have severe problems around animals, while others cannot be in a room that is dusty. If you have adult asthma and have never been tested to see what sets off your asthma attacks you may want to seek some professional advice.

Choosing the Right Doctor

If your adult asthma is to a point that you must seek professional help to maintain any type of quality lifestyle, then you should make sure you have the proper medical care. Not all doctors are created equal, and when it comes to medical professionals who deal with adult asthma you need to shop around. One of the best ways to choose a doctor is by asking the advice of people who have adult asthma and have been successful in dealing with a certain doctor.

Stay Away From Trouble

If you know what causes your asthma attacks you can avoid troubled areas. If dust is your problem you can find quality in home air filter systems to help alleviate the problem. You can find many good articles and web sites on the internet about the different types of filtration systems available to you. Just a few simple changes to your home and lifestyle could make all the difference.

Animals are Not So Cute for Asthma Suffers

Unfortunately, those cute and cuddly little puppies and kittens can really trigger adult asthma in many individuals. Animals seem to be one of the number one culprits in causing asthma attacks. If you know that animals are the cause of your adult asthma you will simply need to avoid them. For some adult asthma suffers there are certain medicines that can be taken if you know that you will be coming in contact with animals.

Adult asthma is no laughing matter and should be taken seriously. Millions of people suffer on a daily basis, yet, they never seek the proper care for their symptoms. If you are suffering from asthma, seek some answers and take control.

ASTHMA: Shallow Breathing To Tune Your Body

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

We are now at the position where we can discuss more exactly the process that if followed will normalize your breathing. We have seen in earlier chapters that our breathostat or respiratory centre has somehow become set at the wrong level.

How did they become set at the wrong level? One major factor is the false idea of the usefulness of deep breathing, which is often combined with deep breathing exercises. A big long deep breath with a good stretch is good to relax. If you do it repeatedly, it will turn your breathostat the wrong way.

Another factor which increases breathing intensity is over eating, especially high protein. Protein will increase your depth of breathing considerably. Animal proteins in particular are capable of producing powerful changes. If we use dairy products as an example, we can see the effect of all foods.

It is commonly known that consumption of milk products tends to promote the formation of mucus. This is almost correct. What happens is that the milk causes an increase in the depth of breathing, which in turn causes a loss of CO2. We now know that reduced CO2 will tell the mucus factories [glands] in our airpipes and sinus cavity to produce more mucus. So the problem is not with the poor cow, but simply that the high protein levels cause an increase in breathing.

Since the industrial revolution the amount of protein consumed has steadily increased, along with so called diseases like asthma and hypertension.

Other factors that increase the breathing include lack of physical work, narcotics, and exposure to many chemical agents.

As your breathostat is exposed to greater levels of breathing and lower CO2 levels, it becomes conditioned to a lower level. Then further deep breathing, perhaps as part of a fitness or health training, can turn it even lower. This training effect continues until such a low breathostat level is reached that your body takes defensive action to avoid a catastrophe. In asthmatics it restricts the breathing.

It is a relatively simple strategy to reset your breathostat by exposing it to higher levels of CO2 than it is used to. This is the opposite of the approach which lowered the breathostat CO2 level, which was to expose it to lower levels of CO2.

We want an approach that will:

a. Be easy and comfortable to do,
b. Be able to be done anywhere by anyone,
c. Be combined with other tasks so we do not need to take time from your busy day.

The most effective way to do this is to use an indirect approach. This means not trying to control the size or length of holding of each breath, as that requires huge concentration and very careful training. It does mean using simple muscle relaxation which will make the depth of breathing less, and requires no control of the rate of breathing which is difficult. The key instruction is simple and short.

Shallow Breathing is: A gradual reduction in the depth of breathing, by relaxing the diaphragm and breathing muscles, until a tiny shortage of air is felt and then maintained.

There are several key points. The first is that we are reducing the depth of breathing. When we do this the frequency or rate at which we breathe increases by itself. This is correct, and the rate should not be interfered with. That would be direct control of the breathing, which is far harder to maintain, and usually leads to a huge shortage of air which is followed by gasping. This is not the goal. So reduce the depth only.

The next point is that the way we do it is by relaxing the breathing muscles, not holding them. The more relaxed they are the more still you become. The more still you become the less deeply you can breathe. [If you become still by holding or tensing you will develop sharp pains in your ribs as the muscles complain.]

The other key point is that our goal is to develop a training that can be done anywhere, is comfortable so it will not be avoided, and can be combined with other tasks. The way to this goal is to allow only a tiny shortage of air to develop. It is all that you need. If it feels awful and suffocating you have created a large shortage, and should relax and start again. If you feel no shortage at all, become more and more still until you do.

As part of this process, recognize that there is no rule that says you have to be breathing all the time. If you find yourself breathing away with no real need or desire to stop.

An alternative way to start your shallow breathing is to do a measurement pause without holding your nose. This really means that you stop breathing until you feel a tiny shortage of air. All you have to do then is be relaxed and still enough to maintain that shortage.

Am I Doing It Properly?

This is the most common and natural question. You are shallow breathing if you feel a tiny shortage of air, and you are comfortable. A shortage of air is a sensation that you would like to take an extra breath, but to maintain the shortage do not. If you are suffocating, you have too great a shortage ? remember unless it feels comfortable; you will not do it enough and will get poor results.

If you feel no shortage of air you are not doing it!

Alternative Asthma Medicine: Does It Work Or Not?

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

Asthma can be an easy disease to live with, except for the sudden attacks that can occur. During these attacks, people who suffer from asthma can experience moments of breathlessness and sometimes tend to panic. In order to prevent the occurrence of such unpleasant moments, it is important that you follow your doctor's indications and always keep the inhaler with the necessary medication close to you. You can even try alternative asthma medicines: you will find them to be quite effective sometimes.

Those alternative remedies for asthma have the disadvantage that the FDA does not approve them and your regular doctor will certainly not prescribe them. Why? Because since these alternative medicines for asthma were not included in any medical research, they can affect our health in a negative manner, so being careful to what you try is the best advice we can give you.

The greatest disadvantage of alternative asthma remedies is that they are not applying to any person who suffers from asthma. Some of those persons respond well at this kind of treatment, while others do not respond at all or worse, they encounter disturbing secondary effects for their health.

It is said that the acupuncture can relieve the tension in the breathing of asthmatic persons. The people who have tried it say that it can work miracles on your breathing, making it easier. If you choose the acupuncture though, make sure you go at a professional practitioner, who can assure you with properly sterilized needles, in order to avoid infections of your skin.

Some other people tried hypnosis. It is a popular alternative remedy for asthma and it can be beneficial for a certain category of patients, while for others it might not be recommended.

You can also choose to go to have a chiropractic treatment. It involves a specific treatment, which includes the manipulation of the spinal chord, and trying to heal the body from the inside. For the daring ones, a modern laser treatment can bring an immediate relief. Some people don't think about possible scars or infections of the scars resulted from this particular treatment and proceed with the intervention. The laser will be used to diminish swallowed tissues and the instant relief can be satisfying, if we don't think at post-operator eventual complications.

Meditation combined with complicated physical positions of the body has proven their effectiveness in winning the battle with asthma. Yoga probationers say that if you practice those moves daily, you can observe real improvement of your health, and on a long term, it can even cure asthma with this popular and efficient kind of treatment.

But no remedy is a good one if you don't know and avoid the causing elements and allergens of asthma. If you are aware of the things that can cause you an asthma attack and avoid them as much as you can, you can live normally and enjoy every minute of your life without even feeling that you have a disease.

The effectiveness of alternative medicines for asthma is different from one person to another. It is influenced by how advanced the disease is, how well the person who has asthma supports the treatment and how long the alternative medicine for asthma lasts. That is why the best way to obtain the relief of your breath is the proper combination between these alternative methods and the medication prescribed by your doctor.

The Rise of Allergies and Asthma

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

It is estimated that over half of Americans between the ages of 6 and 59 would test positive to one or more allergens. It is believed about one quarter of these people would be allergic to dust mites, ragweed or cockroaches. Surveys have shown that about ten million Americans are allergic to cats. Two million are allergic to insect stings. According to The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic (i.e. long-term) disease.

The problem is not confined to the U.S. It is estimated that between forty and fifty per cent of children in North America, Western Europe and Australia have some form of allergy. Why is this a problem if you have asthma? The World Health Organization believes 90 per cent of asthma attacks are triggered by allergic reactions.

An allergy starts with the body?s increased sensitivity to something it perceives as a threat. The immune system overreacts to an allergen that for others is an innocent, harmless substance. We don?t know why some people become sensitized to an allergen and others do not, but it is believed that people inherit a tendency for allergies, although not to a specific substance.

Some experts believe the sensitivity is related to a child?s environment and lifestyle. They point to the increasing sales of antibacterial sprays and other cleaning agents. Today?s homes are generally cleaner. Children spend more time in the home and less time playing outside in the dirt. Consequently they are less exposed to potential allergens and denied the chance to develop immunity. This is believed to lead to allergic sensitization.

Studies have shown that children in a large family or who attend a daycare center are less likely to develop allergies. It has also been found that children who share their home with dogs and cats have less allergic reactions than those raised in a pet free household.

Pollen is a common allergy and asthma trigger. When these tiny particles enter the airways of someone sensitive to their presence proteins on the surface of the pollen and an enzyme also carried by the pollen cause an overreaction. The protein triggers the immune system and the enzyme interacts with the cells of the airways. This inflames the respiratory passages and leads to breathing difficulties.

Understanding this process may lead to new, more effective medications, but what can you do in the meantime? Firstly know the pollen count for your area. However be aware that the pollen count is usually taken the day before it is broadcast. It can be reduced by rain or cool weather, and increased by hot weather or short thunderstorms.

There are some easy preventative actions you can take for each type of allergy. If you have an allergic reaction during yard work and in damp places dispose of anything that smells moldy; if pets start a reaction regularly wash pets and their bedding; many allergies will improve if you do not smoke, especially at home and around your children.

If you find you have a food allergy vigilance is the best prescription. Today you can encounter food substances in the most unexpected places. There was a classic school experiment that involved burning a peanut and measuring how much energy it gave out. Now pupils burn another type of food. Some pupils discovered they were allergic to peanuts the hard way as the oils in the nut gave off fumes.

Now there is another food to treat with caution. Sesame seed allergy is one of the fastest growing allergies in the world. And don?t think you will only find the seed resting atop a bun. They are used in salad dressings, ethnic foods, baked goods and even soap.

So what can you do if you suspect you have an allergy or you may be asthmatic? First, become educated about the condition. Experts agree that knowledge is the best prescription.

Do some research. Consult your doctor. They may recommend tests to determine any allergies you have. If an allergy or asthma is identified there are medications, precautions and complementary therapies you can use to control your condition.

Above all do not believe that a diagnosis of allergy or asthma means you have to live a less active, enjoyable life. Our understanding of these conditions is incomplete, but we know enough to allow sufferers to take control.

Asthma Treatment, Asthma Symptoms and Asthma Prevention

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

More than 17 million people in the US alone suffer from asthma, a serious lung ailment, resulting in 5,000 asthma deaths a year. Asthma is an allergic inflammation of the lungs, which is generally triggered by pollens, molds, dust, animal dander, air pollution, chemicals, exercise, temperature changes or ingestion of certain foods.

During an asthma attack the walls of the lungs become inflamed and the mucus membranes fill with fluid and thick, sticky mucus making it difficult to breathe. Asthma symptoms can include a scratchy throat, coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing and a tight feeling in the chest. An asthma attack can be mild, moderate or severe and lasting for a few minutes, hours, or even several days.

Knowing when to get emergency help for a severe attack can save your life. If you are experiencing the following, you should seek immediate medical attention:

-your medication does not control your symptoms

-you have extreme difficulty breathing, talking and walking,

-your fingernails or lips are turning blue,

-your chest feels tight and your ribs are pulled inward as you breathe,

-your nostrils flare when you breathe

(References: Adams Francis V. The Asthma Source Book 1998; American Academy of Family Physicians)

Unfortunately, many widely prescribed asthma drugs can have serious and even fatal side effects. Salmeterol, the medication used in Advair and Serevent appeared to trigger fatal attacks in some users. Additional side effects of these drugs are: liver dysfunction and damage, increased heart rate, blood pressure, heart beat irregularities, chest pain tremor, nervousness, worsening of bronchiospasm (life-threatening), allergic reactions: skin rash, hives, swelling, bronchiospasm, and anaphylaxis (life-threatening), worsening of diabetes and lowering of potassium, potentially fatal heart complications.

Asthma Prevention

Doctors and researchers agree that the single most important thing that parents can do to prevent their child from developing asthma in the first place is to eliminate or significantly reduce dust mite allergens or asthma triggers in the home.

"Clinical studies have revealed that avoidance of dust mite allergens in early childhood can prevent the onset of asthma..." Michael LeNoir Md

Dust mite allergens are known to play a major role in it's development. Researchers have determined that other important allergens (after dust mites) that also need to be eliminated from the home are cats, certain types of mold, dogs, cockroaches and tobacco smoke. It is a popular misconception that children will "outgrow" asthma. It is a severe and potentially life-threatening illness that should be taken seriously. Long term use of steroid drugs is not recommended by doctors and has serious side effects. Making these preventative environmental changes is a much more viable, healthy and preferable alternative. If you or your child are already suffering from asthma or allergies these measures will certainly help.

Breath is Life--Fight Asthma!

Asthma- has become a significantly common disease that everybody must have heard of somewhere, sometime! The highest ratio rests with Australia, who has in fact, around two million Australians have asthma; that is about 10% of the population. It's so common! Yet, unless one knows some facts and have studied it or had it explained by a doctor, one wonder what asthma actually is.

Have you ever been felt breathless while, gasping for breath? It's difficult for anyone to understand what an asthma attack feels like, but truly, it is too much scary! For anyone who has never had an asthma attack, it is very hard to understand what it feels like.

The small air sacs and airways of the lungs become irritated. Thus, they swell and can fill with mucous. This leaves less space in the airways for air to move through and it becomes hard to get enough air into the lungs. This results in chest pain and an overwhelming desire to breathe rapidly which actually worsens the situation.

Asthma is a life threatening disease and should be taken seriously. Even a mild asthma attack can be very serious. A mild asthma attack can develop into a more serious attack or it might exhaust the patient so much such that a mild attack can become fatal. In general, asthma is caused by an irritation of the airways.

Some common irritants of Asthma are:

 Dust  Pollen  Tobacco  Allergens  Hay fever  Viral infections  Animal hair  Temperature changes  Heavy Exercise

However there is no cure for the asthma disease, but clearly the disease is manageable.

Medication is available to prevent attacks and relieve the symptoms. There is no single cause and no single answer. Attacks can be minimised by avoiding known triggers as much as possible and by leading a generally healthy lifestyle, including fresh foods and exercise.

Are Asthma and Allergies Related?

                    

>>  INSTANTLY PREVENT YOUR ASTHMA CLICK HERE <<

 

When we hear of allergy and asthma studies, we often find them lumpted together. Is there really a connection between allergies and asthma? To get to the answer to this, we must first learn what allergies and asthma actually are.

Allergies are immune system reactions to things that others would find harmless. Certain foods, pollen, even dust are all considered allergens that can trigger an allergic reaction. The immune system produces antibodies that release chemicals

Asthma is a chronic lung condition, characterized by difficulty in breathing due to extra sensitive or hyper-responsive airways. During an asthma attack, the airways become irritated and react by narrowing and constructing, causing increased resistance to airflow, and obstructing the flow of air to and from the lungs. Common early warning signs of asthma include fatigue, coughing (especially at night), wheezing, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, runny nose, and itchy throat.

Allergies, on the other hand, are immune system reactions to things that most people would experience as harmless. Certain foods, dust, pollen ... these are allergens that can trigger an allergy attack. When they're encountered, the body's immune system produces IgE antibodies to fight the allergen. These antibodies create the release of chemicals into the bloodstream, one of which (histamine) affects the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and skin, causing the allergy's symptoms.

So now that we have a better picture of how these two health conditions work, the question becomes ... is there a relationship between allergies and asthma?

It's true that those with certain allergies (usually allergies that affect the nose and eyes, such as dust mites, animal dander, mold or pollen) are more likely to develop asthma than say ... those without allergies or those with allergies in other classifications, such as food allergies. But it's also true that many of those with allergies never develop asthma at all.

In addition, there are other factors that can contribute to a person's asthma. Unmonitored exercise, for example. Or other illnesses, such as colds or the flu.

Scientists aren't sure what lies at the root cause of asthma. Various studies are looking at a variety of factors, including air pollution, obesity, and as strange as it might sound, even the lack of exposure to viruses and bacteria in childhood (which may prevent the immune system from growing stronger).

What we do know is that exposure to indoor allergens, pollen, animal dander, grass ... in other words, allergy-related factors, are often found in asthmatics. Often, but not always. And it also appears that asthma tends to run in families. If both parents have asthma, there's actually a 40% probability their children will develop the disease as well.

Current research efforts have been exploring the influence of environmental factors, genetics (as mentioned above), and even stress on asthma. This creates the potential to dramatically reduce a person's asthma severity levels by altering his or her exposure to the aggravating factors. This can be particularly successful when the culprit is something that's relatively easy to control. Dust, for instance. Or something only encountered in a work environment. Or, though it's certainly much more difficult because of the emotional component, a family pet.

Unfortunately, the most common allergy that appears to have a direct influence on asthma is an allergy to dust mites. Eliminating these mites to the extent that it might make a difference in the severity of your asthma requires a major change in lifestyle and can often be quite expensive. That doesn't mean it can't be done, only that it's not as easy as simply staying indoors during the pollen season or switching to a less stressful job.

Of course, new treatments are coming along all the time, and considerable research is currently dedicated to finding ways to modify, abolish or diminish the affect allergies have on the body. It's believed that with the successful control of allergies can come the successful control of asthma, particularly in younger sufferers.

In the meantime, here's what we know ... asthma can be triggered by allergic reactions, but it can also be triggered by nonallergic reactions. Most asthma attacks result from exposure to allergens such as pollen, household dust, and mold. These attacks can be influenced by indoor or outdoor environments. Because a majority of asthma sufferers are affected by some form of allergies, it's worth the effor to work closely with your doctor to try to identify and control all potential allergens within your influence.

Why Are So Many Children Getting Asthma?
By Deborah Mumm

Go to any grade school or high school sporting event! Take a peek at the sideline bench and note how many inhalers you see. Did you know that the number one reason children miss school is asthma? Why the explosion of asthma and respiratory problems in children?
4 Reasons Respiratory Problems are on the Rise!

1) Couch Potato Generation kids weigh more, exercise less and spend more time indoors.
2) Too much antibiotic use - Immune systems never get much opportunity to fight infections, and then react abnormally to airborne contaminants.
3) Air Pollution Pollution does not cause asthma but can be a trigger for an attack. Cars and factories now have stricter controls on emissions but the problem is still there.
4) Indoor Air Pollution 20 years ago no one ever heard of Indoor Pollution! Since the Energy Crisis in the 70s, buildings became more energy efficient. This meant all pollutants became trapped inside. Many of the items we furnish our home and school with are outgassing contaminants continually. Carpeting, curtains, cleaning products, particle board furniture and more! With people spending 90-% of their days indoors, this becomes a problem!

4 Things You Can Do To Protect Your Kids from Allergy & Asthma Reactions!

1) Watch for days when pollen counts are high and restrict vigorous exercise on hot days.
2) Avoid Wood Stoves and fireplaces in the home and NEVER allow smoking in the home of an asthmatic.
3) Keep pets out of the bedrooms.
4) Make sure kitchen, bathrooms, and basement are well ventilated to cut down on mold in humidity.
5) Put pillows and mattresses in allergen-impermeable covers to cut down exposure to dust mites.
6) Use non-toxic cleaning products and avoid perfumes and scented products.
7) A filter-less air purifier is highly recommended since a filter can only capture a small portion of allergens.
