What Is Bronchial Asthma??
Bronchial Asthma is a disorder caused by
inflammation in the airways (called bronchi)
that lead to the lungs. This inflammation
causes airways to tighten and narrow, which
blocks air from flowing freely into the lungs,
making it hard to breathe

How can it occur?
The inflammation of the airways makes them
very sensitive ("twitchy"), resulting in spasm
of the airways that tend to narrow, particularly
when the lungs are exposed to an insult such
as viral infection, allergens, cold air, exposure
to smoke, and exercise. Reduced caliber of the
airways results in a reduction in the amount ofair going into lungs, making it hard to breathe.

How to prevent it?
• The most effective treatment for asthma is
identifying triggers. Avoidance of triggers is a
key component of improving control and
preventing attacks by doing some activities
such as: avoid smokers, dust mite control
measures, including air filtration, chemicals to
kill mites, vacuuming, mattress covers, avoidexcessed exercise, and stress
