Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing inflammation, narrowing, and increased mucus production, making it harder to breathe. It can be triggered by a variety of factors, and its symptoms vary in severity, ranging from mild wheezing and coughing to more serious difficulty in breathing.
Common Symptoms
Wheezing: A whistling sound when breathing, especially during exhalation.
Chest tightness: A feeling of constriction or pressure in the chest.
Coughing: Often worsens at night or early in the morning, and can be persistent.
Shortness of breath: Especially after physical activity or during an asthma attack.
Increased mucus production: This can make breathing even harder, especially when there’s an excess of Kapha in Ayurvedic views.
Common Triggers:
- Allergens: Pollen, mold, dust mites, pet dander.
- Environmental factors: Air pollution, smoke, chemical fumes.
- Weather changes: Sudden shifts in temperature, cold air.
- Physical exertion: Running or climbing stairs can worsen symptoms.
- Occupational exposure: Chemical fumes, dust, or irritants at the workplace.
Limitations of Medication Therapy
Inhalers (ICS and rescue inhalers) can have side effects such as:
- Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS): Long-term use can lead to weight gain, osteoporosis, hoarseness, and oral thrush.
- Rescue inhalers: Overuse can cause increased heart rate, jitteriness, and anxiety.
Severe cases may require biologic therapies, which are costly and not universally accessible.
- Lack of a cure: Even with optimal treatment, asthma often remains a lifelong condition.
- Environmental challenges: In polluted areas or for those exposed to harmful substances, medication might not fully prevent symptoms.
