Asthma is a disease that affects your airways which includes bronchial tubes and air sacs. Airways are tubes that carry breath in and out of the lungs. In disease like asthma, the inner walls of airways become inflamed (sore and swollen).

This inflammation makes them highly sensitive and reactive, to a number of allergic like smoke, fragrance, animal fur, dust etc. In reaction to allergic, airways get narrower and your lungs get lesser amount of air then required. This causes wheezing, coughing, chest congestion and suphocation, particularly early in the morning or at night.

As asthma symptoms get worse than normal, an asthma attack occurs. In a severe asthma attack, the air tubes can narrow so much that internal vital organs (viscera) become oxygen deficient and sometime, this sever attack results in death of the patient.

Although asthma is a controllable disease, but it can flare up any time even you feeling fine.

But in this advanced era of scientific technology, most asthmatic patients’ are know able to manage the disease. They can live healthy lives and sound sleep throughout the night without disturbance from asthma.

Signs and Symptoms

General symptoms of asthma include:

• Coughing at night or early in the morning.
• Wheezing occur while breathing
• Chest tightness
• Breathlessness

It is not necessary that, if you have any of these symptoms you are asthmatic. For the confirmation, a lung function test is performed with the physical examination.

Severe symptoms of asthma can put your life on stake. It’s vital to treat primary symptoms when you first detect them so avoid them to get worse.

Asthma management

Asthma is a chronic, incurable disease. The key purpose of asthma treatment is to keep the disease in control situation. Good asthma control will:

• Avoid chronic and irritating symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath
• Minimize the need of quick-relief medicines
• Try to maintain good lung function
• Prevent sever symptoms that can turned into asthma attacks and admitted you to hospital for emergency treatment

Feeling good about your own is the only key to making the most of the successful childbearing year. Women, who accept the changes gleefully, celebrate the variation that occur to her during pregnancy, face the challenge of delivery, and freely manage the pregnancy stages, hormonal and emotional changes of the postnatal period.

Division of expecting mothersk

Unfortunately, Majority of women don’t step into pregnancy with healthy self-images. Feeling good about themselves could get extremely difficult, as their bodies experience pregnancy signs. At that time they need a high level of motivation from friends and family in the first challenging year of their lives.

According to the researchers, pregnant women can be divided into two categories, those who react positively and those who don’t feel very good. Women who are included in first group are those who have love-hate relationship with their bodies and feel cultural pressure to look young and smart. They always try to struggle against the natural body changes which are out of their control.

Second group of positive thinkers feel good when their body starts to change and accept the truth that life is growing within their womb and consider it as the best time of their lives.

Importance of self–image
Normally, self-image of a woman fluctuates many times during the course of her pregnancy. It is really hard to feel healthy while women are bending over a sink and throwing up, but the feeling of body changes are entirely different when they stepped into the second trimester, when they may overwhelm by their baby’s movements. Then, the breathlessness and difficulty during sleep starts to occur, which are the main signs of the third trimester.

In this particular time, women considerably feel less enthusiastic than the entire previous span of pregnancy. Third trimester is the period, when many women start to feel negatively towards their bodies with larger bellies. According to the Dr Carl Jones “So many expectant women see themselves as misshapen, gauche extend to ugliness during the later prenatal months.”
