Asthma is a disease that
makes the airways in your lungs inflamed. When this happens, your airways
become narrow. You may have symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and
wheezing. But inflammation can also be present even when you feel fine. If
the airways become so narrow that you have trouble breathing, it's called an
asthma flare-up (or asthma attack). Flare-ups can occur at almost any time,
even when you're asleep.
Asthma is a serious and chronic condition. Once you have asthma, you will
always have it, even if you do not experience the symptoms for a long period
of time. Symptoms can flare up at any time if you do not stick to a treatment
plan. (Your healthcare professional can help you design a personal treatment
plan to control your asthma). Acting ahead of time and following the
instructions of your healthcare professional can help you prevent asthma
symptoms, reduce the potential for serious lung damage, and allow you to get
the most out of life.
Asthma triggers are irritants in the environment that can cause asthma
symptoms or attacks. There are many different kinds of triggers that can
aggravate your asthma. Everyone's triggers may be different. Learn what yours
are. Note them and talk to your healthcare professional about them. This can
help both of you to work together to create a more effective asthma treatment
plan.
Asthma is treated with
medication. Often, you'll need to take more than one type of medication. All
patients with asthma should have ready access to a "rescue inhaler" — a
fast-acting medication that opens up the bronchial tubes (a bronchodilator),
reduces airway narrowing, and relieves symptoms. If you are using your rescue
drug more than three to five times per week, you may need added controller
medication; talk to your doctor. If you are using more than eight puffs from
your rescue inhaler per day, you may be having an asthma exacerbation. Call
your doctor immediately.
Specific asthma medications include:
quick-acting inhaler (such as albuterol)
This relaxes your airways so that they become wider again. These are used to
stop an acute episode of asthma, or "asthma attack" (also called a rescue
inhaler).
long-acting inhaler (such as salmeterol)
This inhaler is used daily to prevent asthma attacks. This inhaler should not
be used to try to stop an asthma attack in progress. Long-acting inhalers may
be an effective addition for patients in need of more than a steroid inhaler.
steroid inhaler (such as fluticasone and beclomethasone)
A steroid inhaler is used to reduce inflammation in your airways and improve
lung function. This inhaler should not be used to try to stop an asthma
attack in progress. As the first-line treatment for most persistent asthma,
steroid inhalers are very effective and quite safe. They are not in the same
class of drugs as the anabolic steroids that some athletes abuse to build
muscle. Although in rare cases steroid inhalers cause side effects such as
sore throat, the risk of not treating asthma is far greater.
cromolyn sodium or nedocromil sodium inhaler
This is used daily to prevent asthma flare-ups. These may also be used just
before exercise, if you have exercise-induced asthma. This inhaler should not
be used to try to stop an asthma attack in progress.
leukotriene blockers (such as zafirlukast and zileuton)
These pills are taken daily to help prevent asthma attacks. For patients with
mild, persistent asthma, leukotriene blockers can be an effective alternative
to steroid inhalers.
corticosteroids (such as prednisone)
This can be given as pills, injections, or intravenous (IV) medications to
treat an acute flare-up of symptoms. You may also take corticosteroid pills
if you have severe asthma that isn't responding to other treatments. Unlike
inhaled corticosteroids, these drugs often have significant side effects, so
the smallest possible dosage should be used.
theophylline
This is a pill taken two to four times daily. Most patients respond better to
other drugs, but occasionally theophylline can be helpful. Theophylline can
be toxic if taken in too large a dose or if it is taken with certain other
medications.
epinephrine
This is a shot given to stop an asthma attack.
