What Causes Asthma And What Can You Do About It?

The standard medical answer is that we don't have a clue! What we do know is that according to recent asthma statistics the number of people in the US with asthma is increasing. There are over twenty million people (including nine million cases of asthma in children) in the United States alone who have asthma.

Approximately 30,000 people have an asthma attack every day.

Asthma Signs and Symptoms

• Coughing
• Wheezing - kind of a whistling sound, usually when breathing out
• Shortness of Breath
• Tightness, pain, or pressure in the chest
• Neck muscles tighten and you might have trouble talking
• Blue lips or fingernails - signs that you are not getting enough oxygen
• Feelings of anxiety or panic - from not being able to breathe normally

What Causes Those Nasty Asthma Symptoms?

Come into contact with or do something that your airways don't like, and BANG! your body will unleash one or more of those nasty asthma symptoms on you. Sometimes those symptoms will be very severe and other times they will be milder. Either way, they are still serious and need to be dealt with.

What is Happening in Our Irritated Airways

• The insides of your airways begin to swell up and became very sensitive. When they swell up that means there is less room for air to get through when going back and forth to your lungs. The sensitivity causes you to cough.
• Your airways all have muscles surorunding them on the outside. These muscles begin to tighten up and try to squeeze your airways shut. This is what causes you to feel tightness in your chest which can even get very painful. There is now even les room for the air to get through.
• Gunk (or mucus) begins to form on the insides of your airways. This is plugging up your already shrunken and sensitive airways. When you cough, which is quite often, this gunk will come out with the cough.

Asthma Triggers

• Certain foods
• Air pollution
• Animal dander
• Cockroach droppings
• Dust mites
• Smoke
• Mold
• Weather
• and lots more

No two people seem to have the same triggers responsible for their asthma attacks. These triggers are really what causes asthma. Or actually, they are what cause you to have those nasty asthma symptoms. Once you determine your list of triggers (find out how from the asthma triggers page), you need to make every effort to avoid them like the plague.

What Can You Do About Your Asthma Causes?

These prescription medications attempt to cover up your asthma symptoms and your inhaler can be a life saver, opening up your airways when you can't breath. But the reason you need your emergency asthma inhaler is because your regular prescription medications don't always work that well.

What these medications don't do is address the problem at its source. "Why is your body reacting so violently to coming into contact with your asthma triggers?" These medications don't fix the real problem of what causes your asthma symptoms. So taking your prescription medications or using your inhaler this morning will not do anything to help you from not having to use them for the rest of your life. See the asthma medications page for all the details.
