—In most cases, a tendency to
develop asthma is inherited.
—Asthma is a lung condition
that causes swelling in a person’s airway. Narrowing of the bronchial
tube of your lungs leads to the symptoms of asthma (Fanta et al. 2003). The
symptoms are difficulty breathing, wheezing and coughing. People have difficulty
with breathing because of the narrowed passages in the lungs. This is what
makes the lungs wheezing. The coughing is due to irritation of nerves in the walls
of the breathing tubes and the body trying to expel excessive secretions (Fanta et al. 2003).
—Studies have shown that smoking
is not only bad for the smoker. It is also harmful to anybody who is around
that person. Second hand smoke – the smoke that people around a
smoker breathe – can be very dangerous for someone with asthma. Smokers who
have children with asthma should never smoke around their children.
—The role of an asthma educators are to go out and teach, treat and educate the community on the disease
of asthma.
Findings and Conclusion
—The experience of Asthma varies
greatly among people who have asthma, mainly because of its variable severity.
For some people it is a minor annoyance, a tickle of a cough felt high in the throat after exercises. For others it is the cause of restless nights with frequent awakenings due to cough and labored breathing. For still others Asthma manifest as severe attacks, characterized by a suffocating sensation and the sense
that the next breath may be the last.
—The goals of this research
are that people will learn the difference in the way an asthmatic child goes about their day and lives their life. In a hope to obtain funds to educate the population of people all around the world. Every day asthma free people go about their lives and do not even stop to think about
how their thoughtlessness can be affecting the way others live.
