lower airway disease A chronic respiratory disease, often arising from allergies, that is characterized by sudden recurring attacks of labored breathing, chest constriction, and coughing
respiratory disorder characterized by wheezing; usually of allergic origin
a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems usually triggered by allergens (infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors may also be triggers)
A disease, characterized by difficulty of breathing (due to a spasmodic contraction of the bronchi), recurring at intervals, accompanied with a wheezing sound, a sense of constriction in the chest, a cough, and expectoration
Respiratory condition caused by narrowing of the airways; symptoms include recurrent attacks of wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and labored breathing
an immediate hypersensitivity (allergy) resulting in respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and a feeling of constriction within the chest or bronchial airways
A form of bronchial disorder associated with airway obstruction, marked by recurrent attacks of paroxysmal dyspnea, with wheezing due to spasmodic contraction of the bronchi
A chronic inflammatory condition of the airways and one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in Canada The airways of a person with asthma differ from someone without asthma because the airways of those with asthma become inflamed (swollen) and are extra-sensitive or twitchy (hyperresponsive) The inflammation and hyperresponsiveness cause airways to respond to a variety of triggers, such as pollen, dust, and pets Many of the triggers also cause inflammation and increased production of mucus For more information, click here
—A disorder characterized by inflamed airways and difficulty breathing
A disease of the branches of the windpipe (bronchial tubes) that carry air in and out of the lungs Asthma causes the airways to narrow, the lining of the airways to swell and the cells that line the airways to produce more mucus These changes make breathing difficult and can cause a feeling of not getting enough air into the lungs or shortness of breath
a medical condition characterized by abnormal restriction of breathing, especially in response to allergens or air contaminants
A chronic, inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by wheezing, breathing difficulties, coughing, chest tightness, and other possible symptoms People with asthma have very sensitive airways that are constantly on the verge of over-reacting to asthma triggers Asthma is "reversible" -- in other words, it can be treated with medication to keep the symptoms under control
a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems usually triggered by allergens
labored breathing caused by narrowing of the smaller air passages (past the bronchi) in the lungs, associated with shortness of breath, wheezing, cyanosis, and coughing
A chronic inflammatory ailment of the lungs characterized by wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough
a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems, usually triggered by allergens, infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors may also be triggers
Asthma is a lung condition which causes difficulty in breathing. a medical condition that causes difficulties in breathing (asma, from asthma, from azein ). Chronic disease with attacks of shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing from constriction and mucous-membrane swelling in the bronchi (air passageways in the lungs). It is caused primarily by allergy or respiratory infection. Secondhand smoke can cause asthma in children. Asthma is common and runs in families; predisposition may be hereditary. In established asthmatics, exercise, stress, and sudden changes in temperature or humidity can bring on attacks. Attacks usually last from a half hour to several hours; severe attacks can be fatal. Corticosteroids can control asthma; injections of epinephrine can relieve acute attacks. Prevention involves avoiding exposure to allergens
A lung disease in which tightening of the air passages can provoke wheezing and difficulty breathing
Asthma is a chronic medical condition, affecting approximately 10 million Americans (3 to 4 percent of the population) Asthma results when irritants (or trigger substances) cause swelling of the tissues in the air passage of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe Typical symptoms of asthma include wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing
a respiratory disease characterized by the narrowing of the respiratory pathways and the excess production of mucus, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing and coughing Asthma is usually caused or aggravated by allergies and air pollution
