Read about Asthma
Care presented in simple easy to understand

There is no particular timing for an asthma
attack and it can happen at any time of the day. Normally the
duration of an attack is totally dependent on the amount of
inflammation. The small and medium sized airways become inflamed and
constricted as a result of which the whole air passage becomes
blocked because the muscles on the outside of the air passage
tightens up constricting the air flow.
Asthma should always be taken seriously as excess carbon dioxide.
Without effective treatment during an attack, exhaustion may worsen
respiratory function and in critical cases an asthma attack can lead
to death also. As a result of these asthma should always be taken
care seriously and proper care should be taken . a person who has a
history of asthma should always make sure that he prevents asthma
triggering conditions like dust ,extreme cold and even pollen which
also can trigger an asthma. However this is not always possible as
airborne dust and pollens are difficult to escape .
