Adult Onset Asthma

Asthma can be a very dangerous health problem and needs to be taken seriously. Age does not appear to be a factor as to when adults can develop asthma. It is just as likely to develop in a thirty year old as it is in a sixty year old. However, more women develop adult onset asthma than men. Nobody has come up with a reason why yet.

Increased Risk Factors For Getting Asthma As An Adult

• Allergies - half of those people who developed adult onset asthma already had allergies.
• Obesity - appears to increase your chances of developing asthma as an adult.
• Cat Allergies - those with cat allergies have a greater chance of getting adult onset asthma. There is no evidence showing why this happens, but it does. One of those unsolved mysteries I guess
• Estrogen Supplements - Women who take estrogen supplements for 10 years after menopause are 50% more likely to develop adult onset asthma.Why is anybody's guess. It's just another one of those interesting facts and figures.
• Environmental Conditions - long term exposure to certain environmental conditions at work seem to increase your risk.
• Medications - certain medications like aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,oral beta blockers, beta blocker eye drops for glaucoma are all suspects for increasing your risk of developing adult asthma.
• Infections - other illnesses like infections, a cold, the flu, etc., might also increase your chances of getting adult onset asthma.

Symptoms Of Adult Onset Asthma

While asthma signs and symptoms in both children and adults are very similar, they seem to be a little more persistent in adults. Your adult asthma symptoms are pretty much the same as with other forms of asthma. Cough variant asthma is the exception. From the asthma symptoms page, we find out that the typical symptoms are as follows:

• Coughing - a persistent cough where you are also coughing up gunk or mucus.
• Wheezing - a kind of whistling sound, usually when you breathe out.
• Tightness in Your Chest - the muscles around your airways are getting tight.
• Shortness of Breath - you are having problems getting a good breath of air.

What is Asthma

According to the what is asthma page, having asthma means that your airways or breathing tubes going to your lungs are very sensitive and easily irritated. They might even be mildly irritated all the time. Not a very fun thing to deal with every day of your life. The bad news is that certain things can cause your airways to get really upset. Here is what happens when they do get real upset:

• The insides of your airways begin to get extremely sensitive and swollen. This leaves less room for the air to go back and forth to your lungs. It also causes you to cough.
• The muscles around the outsides of your airways get real tight and try to squeeze your airways shut. This makes the opening for your air to pass through even smaller.
• Gunk or mucus starts to form inside your airways. This plugs up the already small airways.

Asthma Triggers

You can really help yourself out by determining what your triggers are and doing your best to stay away from them. Coming into contact with these triggers is what causes your asthma attack, so the best thing you can do is stay away from them.

Asthma Treatment Options

As we mentioned, the best asthma treatment is to stay away from your triggers. The asthma prevention page has some tips on avoiding those triggers. For most of you that will be impossible to do all of the time, so you will need an asthma treatment strategy for your adult onset asthma.
