What is inner asthma?

Internal asthma, also known as non -allergic asthma, is caused by environmental factors instead of exposure to allergens. The condition results in narrowing and inflammation of the respiratory tract similar to allergic asthma and can also be treated with drugs. However, symptoms of this type of asthma are not associated with allergic reactions. Internal asthma is more common in adults than in children, although it may occur at any age.

The common causes of internal asthma include long -term exposure to nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and carbon monoxide excluded from combustion of cars, trains and buses and even power plants. In most cases, these by -products are issued to the open air where they are of little importance. However, if the vehicles leave idle at closed stations, vapors can cause asthma when the individual is exposed regularly and for a long time.

Tobacco smoke, cooking gas in poorly ventilated kitchens and pollutants in the home can cause internal asthma. A fibrous plate that was picked upENA with adhesive containing formaldehyde, synthetic fibers in carpets, air fresheners, perfumes and commercial cleaning agents, have the potential to irritate the airways and cause asthma symptoms. In rare cases, internal asthma may be caused by stress, anxiety, hyperventilation or exercise.

The symptoms of internal asthma are similar to the symptoms of allergic asthma. Common symptoms include cough and wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness and chest pressure and fast or difficult breathing. In appearance, the episode seems to be exactly like an allergic asthma attack, but the immune system does not cause a reaction. Symptoms may also deteriorate after exercise and exposure to cold or dry air.

There is no drug for this type of asthma, but the identification and elimination of triggers can reduce the frequency of attacks and prevent development. Prescription drugs such as asthma inhalers, bronchodilators and corticosterides are alreadyITSNÁ for managing symptoms. Some patients use unproven alternative therapy to treat internal symptoms of asthma, such as acupuncture, massage, hypnosis, herbs and even chiropractic manipulation. A qualified physician should always be consulted before trying alternative remedies to treat serious health conditions such as asthma.

If it is not treated, internal asthma can cause serious breathing problems and permanent airway damage. Hospitalization, asphyxia and death are rare complications, but may occur in extreme cases if the condition is not properly managed. In most cases, internal asthma is easily checked. With rapid diagnosis and treatment, the patient can live a long and healthy life with minimal disturbance.
