When you think about asthma, you probably also think of an inhaler—a device an asthmatic person uses to help them breathe better.
How Asthma Negatively Affects the Body
With asthma, a person may have a hard time breathing such that they cough or wheeze. People with asthma may feel a tightness in their chest and shortness of breath, even awakening in the middle of the night with these symptoms. In little kids, coughing and wheezing might occur, but also look for crankiness, fast breathing, slouching over, trouble sitting still, restlessness and/or looking worried or scared.
There are different symptoms of asthma and different levels of asthma severity. Some people might have problems a couple times per week or month, while others might have problems daily, especially at night. Asthma can also be worse at certain times of the year– for instance, if ragweed pollen is in the air.
When a person experiences an asthma attack, certain things can happen. For starters, the muscles around the airways tighten up, making airways narrow so air cannot flow so freely. Inflammation can occur whereas the lining of the airways becomes swollen so not as much air can go in or out of the lungs. Additionally, more mucus is produced, and thick mucus further blocks airways. As you’d imagine, it’s not a good thing to experience an asthma attack– it feels like one “can’t breathe.”
Most people with asthma carry an inhaler on their person. These are hand-held, portable devices that deliver medicine to the lungs to control asthma symptoms.
