What is asthma?

Asthma is a bronchial allergy disease. Patients are easily stimulated by foreign objects, resulting in constriction and narrowing of the bronchi, and sometimes secretion is produced, resulting in the accumulation of thick phlegm and mucus, ranging from wheezing, chest tightness, coughing and other symptoms, and severe breathing. The difficulty is life-threatening at any time.

Common Asthma Include:

Asthma can be roughly divided into sensitive and intrinsic:

sensitive: Allergic asthma. 

Intrinsic: Non-allergic asthma  Cough-variant asthma.

Symptoms of asthma

The following are common symptoms of asthma:

persistent cough, especially at night, during exercise, or when laughing

Difficulty breathing

chest tightness

shortness of breath

stridor

How is asthma diagnosed?

Because the symptoms of asthma are similar to other respiratory diseases, after learning about your condition and medical history, your doctor will use the following tests to determine whether you have asthma:

1. Spirometry 

The doctor will ask you to take a deep breath, then face the machine as fast as you can and exhale as hard as you can until you can't breathe. After several iterations, record the best result. After that you need to inhale a few mouthfuls of the bronchodilator and repeat the above steps. If the results have improved significantly after taking the medicine, it is possible to suffer from asthma.

2. Respiratory challenge test

If you have asthma, low-dose airway-stimulating drugs such as methacholine and histamine can temporarily narrow the airways. The doctor will first ask you to perform a spirometry test under normal conditions, and then inhale a small amount of stimulating drugs to repeat the test. If a very small amount of medicine makes it difficult for you to breathe, your airway is more sensitive and your asthma is more serious.

3. Exercise challenge test

This test is suitable for people who only experience breathing difficulties while exercising. Your doctor will record your static lung capacity and then ask you to repeat the spirometry test after 6 to 8 minutes of exercise on a treadmill or bicycle. If the results show that your lung capacity after exercise is worse than before exercise, there is a chance that you have exercise-induced asthma.

4. Allergy testing

If you have allergic asthma, knowing the triggers is important for diagnosis. Your doctor will arrange for you to undergo a series of skin tests for environmental allergens to determine whether your respiratory problems are caused by allergies.

Asthma treatment 

Medications for asthma can be divided into (1) fast-acting and (2) long-acting.

1. Fast-acting drugs

For example, salbutamol, terbutaline and ipratropium, etc., are used to control asthma symptoms. They are suitable for asthma attacks and when symptoms appear, which can quickly drain organs

2. Long-acting drugs

Such as beclomethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, etc., to reduce the degree of airway inflammation. Since it does not take effect immediately like a quick-acting drug, it needs to be taken regularly according to the doctor's instructions, regardless of whether there are symptoms or not. But these drugs contain side effects like headache, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, back pain, nausea, cough, difficulty, or painful speech.

How could we avoid the risk of asthma without the side effects of drug?

3. Non-side effects Long-acting Health Supplement 

The above medicines come in different forms, including inhalers, nebulizers, tablets, storage chambers, etc:

If you may be able to reduce some of the side effects of albuterol, you can change the way or dosage of your medicine. You may also find that another prescription asthma medication causes fewer side effects.

Cistanche Extract is a type of medicine called a short-acting bronchodilator. It relieves asthma attacks by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways. It is usually administered using a metered-dose inhaler (ProAir HFA, Proventil HFA, etc.), but can also be inhaled using a nebulizer or given as a tablet or liquid.
