What happens during Asthma Attack?
Most asthma is classified as allergic asthma caused by excess body against contact with certain common substances, collectively known as allergens. For those who suffer from allergic asthma, exposure to allergens may cause allergic reaction chain cascade'','' events at the cellular level that causes inflammation and constriction of the airways.
The process begins when the allergen, which is regarded by the immune system as foreign invaders, which is inhaled and attached to the mucous membranes. The immune system sends a message to specific cells in the body that produce specific antibodies against allergies. If the individual is exposed again to allergy in sufficient numbers will cause the release of antibody excess, and the allergen then triggers the release of chemicals that cause inflammation and airway constriction, causing asthma attacks.
Or non-allergic asthma is not intrinsically related to immune or allergic asthma, although having similar symptoms (chest tightness, coughing, wheezing, breathlessness). The most common triggers of allergic asthma is not stress, anxiety, cold or dry air, exercise, smoke, viruses, hyperventilation, and irritation. Most symptoms can be reversed with proper treatment.
