Children are more vulnerable. See the separate BUPA factsheet, Asthma in children , for more about this. What is asthma? The symptoms of asthma are caused when airways (the tubes which carry air to and from the lungs) narrow and become inflamed. This may happen if there’s too much mucus being produced by the airways, or there is swelling or spasm in the lining of your airways. You feel breathless, wheezy, and may develop a dry cough. Symptoms tend to be worse at night or in the early morning. The symptoms can be severe and distressing, and may require hospital treatment. Severe asthma attacks can be fatal.

A Message from Dr. Dennis Bowie, Chairman, Canadian Consensus Asthma Guidelines Dissemination and Implementation Committee. July 2003 New information can now be found throughout this web site. Please feel free to copy and utilize. Once again, we see that the common factors affecting asthma patients are allergens, respiratory irritants and viral infections. Controlling the environment and asthma education are very important in maintaining control of asthma. In patients sensitive to allergens, attempts should be made to identify the source and a systematic program to eliminate or substantially reduce exposure must be encouraged. Compliance with these avoidance strategies should be reviewed frequently and their importance emphasized. Increasing medication for asthma control should not be used as a substitute for avoidance of triggers. Asthma education should be provided at each contact. A written Action Plan for guided self-management should be considered for all patients and reviewed on each visit. Patients need to use their Action Plan at the first symptoms of uncontrolled asthma. The Action Plan should instruct the patient to double or quadruple their inhaled corticosteroid either twice or four times a day. On this web site, you will find a number of sample

1.0 What is asthma? 1.0.1 What is chronic asthmatic bronchitis? 1.0.2 What is status asthmaticus? 1.0.3 What is anaphylactic shock? ... 1.0.8 What is cystic fibrosis? 1.0 What is asthma? Asthma is best described by its technical name: Reversible Obstructive Airway Disease (ROAD). In other words, asthma is a condition in which the airways of the lungs become either narrowed or completely blocked, impeding normal breathing. However, in asthma, this obstruction of the lungs is reversible, either spontaneously or with medication. Although everyone's airways have the potential for constricting in response to allergens or irritants, the asthmatic's airways are oversensitive, or hyperreactive. In response to stimuli, the airways may become obstructed by one of the following: constriction of the muscles surrounding the airway; inflammation and swelling of the airway; or increased mucus production which clogs the airway. Once the airways have become obstructed, it takes more effort to force air through them, so that breathing becomes laboured. This forcing of air through constricted airways can make a whistling or rattling sound, called wheezing. Irritation of the airways by excessive mucus may also provoke coughing. Because exhaling through the obstructed airways is difficult, too much stale air remains in the lungs after each breath. This decreases the amount of fresh air which can be taken in with each new breath, so not only is there less oxygen available for the whole body, but more importantly, the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the lungs causes the blood supply to become acidic. This acidity in the blood may rise to toxic levels if the asthma remains untreated.
