    Idiopathic Asthma

    Asthma is just a general term for what is going on, there are three types of asthma. Each asthma name base off of what triggers the asthma attack. The three types of asthma are allergic asthma, mixed asthma and idiopathic asthma. Allergic asthma occur due to an irritants such as allergens trigger the asthma attack. This occurs due to the fact that the allergens aren’t recognized by our body’s immune system. Since it is unrecognizable it causes the white blood cells in our body to recognize it as a threat. This then promotes our helper T cells to activate the production of B cells which then causes antibiotics to be made. The production of the B cells signals the thymus to make more lymphocytes. The allergens have often just settled within our airway. The production of more white blood cells (specifically immunoglobulin E cells) causes the area to become inflamed. The inflammation of the airway causes the bronchioles to contract (get tighter) which leads to the patient to have trouble with breathing. Allergens such as pet dander, pollens, spores and dust mites are usually responsible for setting off an allergic asthma attack. The second type of asthma is idiopathic asthma. The reason why this is called idiopathic asthma is due to the fact that the exact reason why it is triggered during specific events is unknown. Idiopathic asthma is usually triggered by respiratory infection, exercises and emotional upsets. These thing can lead to an asthma attack due to the fact that they can cause the bronchioles to…

    Asthma is part of a group of conditions which include, but is not limited to, COPD, depression, diabetes and cardio vascular disease, all of which are referred to as long term conditions. A long term condition (LTC) can be defined as a condition which cannot be cured but can be controlled by medication or other therapies (DH 2013). The Department of Health that 15 million people in England suffer from long term conditions and that it accounts for 70% of the money spent on health and social care. These conditions can have a significant impact on an individual’s life in a number of ways which not only impacts the physical health of the individual but also the way they are able to live their lives. Carrier (2009) states that with acute disease the aim of the treatment is to return the person to a normal healthy state but with a chronic long term condition the patient’s life is irreversibly changed, and possibly that of their families too. This can cause additional problems…

    Occupational Asthma

    • 354 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. If the asthma symptoms are triggered by exposure to chemicals or other substances on the job, the condition is called occupational asthma (Tarlo & Lemiere, 2014). The symptoms of OA may begin within 24 hours of the exposure or after a latency period of weeks to months. They generally subside on weekends and holidays if the disease is true occupational asthma. Occupational exposure to chemicals may also worsen existing asthma; this is termed work-related asthma. Because asthma is a chronic but intermittent disease, it produces changes in the respiratory system that include remodeling of the lower respiratory tract, airway hyperresponsiveness, and inflammatory reactions with varying levels of eosinophils and neutrophils (Choy et al., 2015).…
