An Asthma Attack - What Is It and What Causes It

What is an Asthma Attack?

Having an asthma attack means that your breathing tubes or airways going to your lungs have become irritated. You can no longer breathe normally because those airways are getting smaller and smaller. If they keep getting smaller, you will get to a point that you can't breathe at all. At this point, you have entered a life threatening situation and need immediate medical care.

Three Things That Happen To Your Airways During an Asthma Attack

• Due to getting irritated, the insides of your airways begin to swell up. This means that there is now less room for the air to get through. They are also more sensitive causing you to cough.
• The muscles surrounding these airways are starting to tighten up. This means that they are trying to squeeze your airways shut. As your airways continue to get squeezed shut, there is less and less room for the air to get through. You will also feel a tightness in your chest while this is happening.
• Your ticked off airways now let you have the final result of coming into contact with whatever ticked them off in the first place. Gunk (mucus or phlegm) is now being formed inside your shrunken airways. This gunk is now plugging up your airways leaving even less room for the air to get through. When you cough, this gunk will be coming out. This is what is known as an asthma cough.

So What Kinds of Asthma Treatment Options are Available?

• Your first option is prescription asthma medications - These make no attempt to cure your asthma. Prescription medications try to control your asthma symptoms. They work so well that you will have to take at least two different medications and keep an emergency inhaler with you at all times for when they don't work. And since they don't try to cure your asthma, you will have to take them for the rest of your life.
• Your second option and in my humble opinion your absolute best option is a natural asthma treatment. You can get all the details from the above link, but if you actually want to cure your asthma and never have another asthma attack, then this is the option to choose.
