More than 1/2 of all children with asthma in Chicago has had a severe attack in the past year and nearly 1/3 had an attack so bad they thought their life was in danger. Nationally 9 million children,12.7%, has had asthma at some point in their life.
Types of asthma include allergic, exercise induced and intrinsic. Allergic occurs in about 90% of those inflicted with asthma. Exercise induced astthma occurs about 11% and intrinsic usually occurs after 40 years old. Allergic asthma can be brought on by environmental factors such as pollen, dust ,pollution, smoke etc. Exercise induced asthma is brought on by aerobic exercise. Intrinsic can be a combination of the two but in older adults.
The lungs are a network of airway bronchial tubes made up of muscle and a mucous membrane. With an asthma attack, the membranes release mucus ,becomes inflamed, contricts and tightens which results in wheezing.
