Coping with Asthma

Introduction

If you suffer with asthma, you will no doubt be familiar with the
uncomfortable sensations as your bronchial tubes begin to narrow and
your muscles around them start to tighten. A sticky mucus known as
phlegm begins to produce and increase within your bronchial tubes and
you begin to wheeze, cough and struggle to breathe.
As these symptoms continue, you will also start to feel a restrictive
tightness in your chest as well and these sensations are far from
pleasant. This happens when you have come into contact with
something that has acted as a trigger and it has made your bronchial
tubes inflamed and increased their sensitivity as a result.
Whilst asthma is often manageable, it should be treated with respect and
the correct medication taken always, because on occasions, it can be
life threatening.
This report takes a look at the triggers responsible for causing asthma
attacks, how to identify your own triggers and to adapt your life
accordingly and how to improve your lungs with gentle breathing
techniques.
