Helping You Understand Asthma Posted: 04-20-07 03:11am


A disease wherein inflammation of the airways causes airflow into and out of the lungs to become restricted is known as Asthma. If you or your child has this disease, you no doubt understand that it c an be chronic. When you have asthma, your airways tend to be red and swollen and irritants such as pollen or cigarette smoke causes the inside walls of the airways to become even more swollen. The pas sages get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. In addition, mucus is also produced in larger than normal amounts, which clogs your airways even more, making it hard to breathe. Th us, the wheezing and inability to breathe accompany the attacks.
