About Asthma
Asthma causes a variety of symptoms that can worsen at any time, making breathing difficult. Asthma is a disease that cannot be cured. Asthma may cause the linings of your airways to get swollen, and the muscles around them can get tight. Sometimes the swelling and tightness get much worse. This is called an exacerbation, or asthma attack. Some asthma attack can be life threatening. If you don't seek medical help soon after or during an asthma attack you could possibly die from that asthma attack. https://www.asthma.com/what-is-asthma.html?google=e_&rotation=71700000015789717&banner=58700001582147352&kw=12665974700&cc=5988DA1CDC8F&pid=43700012665974700&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8_G_heHa1gIVxEGGCh26AQXpEAAYASAAEgLDUvD_BwE Asthma is one

    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…
