Facts about asthma

The WHO estimates that 235 million people currently suffer from asthma, making it the most common non-communicable disease among children.

Asthma is not just a public health problem in high-income countries. It occurs in all countries, regardless of their level of development. Most asthma-related deaths occur in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Asthma is underdiagnosed and undertreated. It places a heavy burden on individuals and families, with restrictions on personal activities often lasting throughout life.

About the causes of asthma

The fundamental causes of asthma are not fully understood. The greatest risk factor for developing asthma is a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure (inhalation of substances and particles that may trigger allergic reactions or irritate the airways), including indoor allergens (such as bedding, carpets, and house dust mites in stuffed furniture, pollution, and pet dander); outdoor allergens (such as pollen and mold); tobacco smoke; chemical irritants in the workplace;

Air pollution: Other triggers can include Cold air, extreme emotions such as anger or fear, and physical exercise. Even certain drugs can trigger asthma: aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and blockers (used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, and migraines).

Asthma has increased with urbanization, but the exact nature of the relationship is unclear.

What are the symptoms of asthma?

Typical bronchial asthma has aura symptoms before the attack, such as sneezing, runny nose, cough, chest tightness, etc. If not treated in time, it may cause bronchitis. Asthma may occur when the obstruction worsens. In severe cases, patients may be forced to sit or breathe in an upright position, cough dryly or cough up a large amount of white foamy sputum, and may even develop cyanosis. However, it can generally be relieved by self-treatment or treatment with antiasthmatic drugs. Some patients may have another attack several hours after remission, even leading to status asthmaticus.

In addition, there are clinically atypical forms of asthma, such as cough variant asthma, in which patients cough for more than 2 months without obvious triggers, often at night and in the early morning, and aggravated by exercise, cold air, etc. , there is high reactivity in the airway reactivity measurement, antibiotics or antitussives, expectorants are ineffective, bronchial antispasmodics or corticosteroids are effective, but other diseases that cause cough need to be ruled out.
