What is asthma? How to treat? How to prevent?

Bronchial asthma - a chronic allergic lung disease, manifested attacks of shortness of breath or choking, sometimes a dry cough, in response to exposure to an allergen or against colds, exercise, emotional stress.

Treatment of bronchial asthma - a lengthy process, requiring constant medical monitoring, and high patient liability. The drugs for the treatment of asthma is not aimed at addressing the causes of the disease (which, incidentally, is not yet known), and the withdrawal of attacks and their prevention.

· Often the cause of the illness is a pen, which are stuffed pillows, and wool mattresses. Therefore, the asthmatic should replace these bedding to contain a synthetic material (sintepon), which are now available for sale without any problems.
• Need to review the entire arsenal of cosmetics and perfumes, which you (or those who live with you) use - among those funds may be those that trigger allergies.
· Allergy to pollen - one of the most common species, so if you noted that attacks tend to occur at certain times of the year (at the time of flowering of certain species of grass or trees) you need as far as possible away from this region, and if you can not - take Measures of drug prevention.
