Asthma

More Information

Everyone needs to breathe air into and out of the lungs. When we breathe inwards through our nose or mouth the air is taken into our windpipe (trachea). When it reaches our chest area the windpipe branches into two smaller tubes (Bronchi) which lead to each of our lungs.

Inside our lungs the bronchi branch into even smaller tubes (bronchioles), finally ending in tiny air sacs called alveoli.

When all these tubes are functioning normally air is taken in and out of our lungs without us being conscious of it.

During asthma attack there is narrowing of the airways which is temporary this is due to the unusual sensitivity to the irritants present in the environment.

Due to series of reactions that take place there is irritation of the air tubes .There is bronchospasm due to contraction of the muscles in the wall of the bronchioles and this causes narrowing of the airways. The lining of the tubes (sub mucosa) becomes inflamed excess of mucus is produced which leads to coughing and production of sputum.

All these three condition reduces the air passage and due to this breathing the air in and out of the lungs becomes difficult.

As exhaling is harder to do then breathing the air in some of the air is trapped in the alveoli .The narrowing of the air tubes causes a wheeze which is heard during breathing.

Chronic lung disease characterised by difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing from chest ( whistling like sound during breathing ) feeling of tightness in chest.
