Asthma is common disease-causing breathing difficulty and affecting individuals of all age groups. This disease is characterized by narrowing of airways (branching pipes that allow air to flow in your lungs) as they tend to become swollen(inflamed) and red. This makes them extra sensitive to all the substances (dust, pollen etc.) that they are exposed to in day-to-day life.
Asthma Symptoms
These symptoms can be intermittent or persistent. In patients with the intermittent nature of disease, symptoms vary from day to day and sometimes on a particular day itself. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe. In resistant cases checking the inhaler technique, giving additional inhalers and tablets will help.
In cases resistant to all other treatment options Bronchial Thermoplasty can be considered.
