Asthma if identified at early stage can be controlled very easily therefore it is highly recommended for all to learn about symptoms of asthma. There is a large percentage of people who are unaware of symptoms of asthma. Many people suffer from chronic asthma just because they could not identify symptoms of asthma in the early stage.
It is a misconception that symptoms of asthma can only be identified if some one has only breathing problem. It is true that symptoms of asthma are directly or indirectly related to breathing problem however one can identify asthma by many other signs as well.
Most common symptoms of asthma are excessive wheezing and coughing. It happens because air passage of lungs is swollen due to accumulation of mucus on the lungs. When you have excessive coughing just observe that are you feeling fatigued as well, if yes, then immediately contact doctor and have your complete check up.
Many people even misinterpret asthma attack. In attack, symptoms of asthma can be different because these depend upon the intensity of asthma attack. Asthma attacks are triggered by various things like irritancy to perfume, dust, detergent or some emotional stress. The most common symptoms of asthma in its attack are chest pain and unconsciousness.
There are many other symptoms of asthma by which one can detect it in its early stage and these include sleeplessness, dark circles below eyes, severe headache with tiredness, and flu and coughing with tiredness. Symptoms of asthma must never be taken lightly because it can get chronic.
Symptoms of asthma discussed above may not be right for many people however few people may be able to detect asthma in early stage. One must critically observe symptoms of asthma because detection at later stage can cause in numerable problems. Even if asthma is not cured detection at early stage can let doctors control it in an effective manner.
PORT SULPHUR, LA - MAY 28: Kailah Smith, 18 months, sleeps on a moldy couch caused by rain leaks in her parents' FEMA trailer just before the family moved out of the trailer to an apartment May 28, 2008 in Port Sulphur, Louisiana. Smith's parents have had to hospitalize her four times with bronchitis since they moved into the trailer a year ago and they say they are sure the trailer is to blame for her illnesses. Doctors fear tens of thousands of children were exposed to dangerous levels of the cancer-causing agent formaldehyde in the post-Katrina FEMA trailers and could have lifelong illnesses. FEMA federal trailer parks that house many Hurricane Katrina victims are set to close May 31, prompting fears that people will be forced into residences they can't afford or will be left homeless.
