Cause of Asthma
The main cause of Asthma is allergies, while other causes include environmental pollution, smog, dust, dust, dirt, chest infections, smoking or sitting in an environment where smoking is practiced (in medical terms, this psoriasis). Is called smoking, which means exposure to tobacco smoke), pollen, hairy animals, pets, animals, poultry farms, certain medicines, red bags, certain food items, house dust mites (carpets, curtains and Sofas include tiny microscopic insects.
In some cases, people involved in various occupations such as plant nurseries, bakeries, chemicals, detergents, cotton, rice and pharmaceutical factories, car sprays, painters, grinders, sawmill cutters, and welders also have Asthma. In fact, pollution in these areas causes inflammation of the airways, first the nose, then allergies, and later Asthma, while people who already have asthma are more likely to suffer from Asthma. The disease becomes severe. If a person finds it difficult to breathe with a daily cough at work and the symptoms subside or disappear on the day of coming home or on holiday, they should consult a gynecologist immediately, so that treatment can be started with a timely diagnosis. ۔
In addition, the use of perfumes, powders, air fresheners,
mosquito repellent coils or sprays, the smell of frying or sniffing in the
kitchen, sifting flour, dust from house cleaning, can play an important role in
increasing Asthma. In some cases, Asthma develops during pregnancy,

on its own after pregnancy.

If Asthma is not controlled in a pregnant woman, the baby is born with low birth weight, and in some cases, mental development is affected. In addition, if a pregnant woman is already suffering from Asthma, the doctor must be informed. This should be done to avoid complications during pregnancy. Pregnant women should avoid smoking and polluted environment and eat a balanced diet. Thus, there are many factors that affect sleep. For example:
Immunologic Mechanism for Asthma
Immunologic Mechanism: There is also a group of patients with Asthma who has an A-topo (contagious) condition? These are patients who have mast cells as well as Ig levels due to various factors in their blood. The levels of mast cells, basophils, and macrophages also increase. This results in an increase in histamine, IL5 and eosinophils, which in turn lead to inflammation or narrowing of the airways, excessive mucus formation, and obstruction of breathing.
Heredity of asthma
* Heredity: After various researches, it has been proved that Asthma is also a hereditary disease, which can be passed from one generation to another.
* Hygiene Hypothesis: Asthma is a byproduct of hygiene (Asthma Is A Byproduct Of Hygiene). That is, people who are exposed to a very clean environment and germs in the early days of life. Living in clean places, they become more ill in the middle and last days of life (Asthma tops the list), compared to those who spent the early days of their lives in less clean places and exposed to common germs. ۔ Because they naturally develop immunity, which provides protection against various diseases.
Common symptoms of Asthma include a dry cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing in breathing, and exhalation. Whistling sounds usually come from the chest of a patient with Asthma, but At times, due to the severity of the disease, the airways become so swollen that no sound comes from the chest. This is an emergency, so consult a qualified chiropractor immediately, so that the Asthma does not prove fatal. Sometimes the patient is completely normal at the time of the examination as if he had never had an Asthma attack. In medical terms, This condition is called episodic epilepsy.
In this condition, once the Asthma attack, the the patient recovers completely and there is no difficulty in breathing for several days or weeks.
