Symptoms are usually a chronic and repetitive cough, a sort of choking with breathlessness and wheezing in the chest. Many times also come to present bronchospasm.

Dr. Rodolfo Martin Villa Salazar

bronchial asthma Asthma is an inflammatory disease that affects the respiratory airways, in which a blockage occurs in the flow passage of air, that is due to the same allergic phenomenon which is inflammation of the airway by inhalation of some particles , such as fungi moisture, house dust, some antigens animal hair, but also by other factors such as exposure or cigarette smoke aa inhalants, among other alterations. This phenomenon is usually reversible but continues allergy can become a chronic and degenerative. Importantly, the allergic factor of this phenomenon.

Symptoms of asthma

Normally when the patient has asthma the cardinal sign is a cough repetitive chronic accesses can be night or any time of day, is also associated with a kind of breathlessness, chokes with respiratory distress and something that is important to note is that the patient feels wheezing, a whistle in the chest, feels he has a noise and finally a bronchospasm, a complete obstruction of the airways, which is why a phenomenon occurs, respiratory failure and the patient occurs literally feel that he's drowning.

Diagnosis, most often, is a clinical

The clinical diagnosis of allergic diseases is done by a detailed medical history, however, it is necessary to rely to some studies, for example, spirometry, which is an auxiliary test that measures the amount or type of obstruction suffered by the patient respiratory airways in. It can also be diagnosed by a new study called exhaled nitric oxide, which measures the degree of inflammation in the lungs. There are also other known diagnostic methods for allergic background problem such as skin tests, however, the diagnosis is, most often, clinician.

Improve the quality of life, purpose of treatment

The main treatment is to make the patient has an open airway and improve their quality of life, that respiratory failure is changed and that eventually no more hits (respiratory crisis), this is achieved by pharmacological treatments, the doctor makes the indication to the patient how to use anti inflammatory drugs via inhalation and, thus, the respiratory flow recovers, but the main treatment, in case of an allergic phenomenon, it would be an immuno treatment modulator with allergy shots, the purpose is to modify the inflammatory process and make the patient recovers.
