Signs and Symptoms of Asthma: Dr. Reshma Singh

Asthma is one of those health conditions that can really take your breath away - literally. I know just how challenging it can be to manage the wheezing, coughing, and feelings of tightness in chest. But the more you learn about this chronic respiratory disease, the better you’ll become at keeping it under control.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with asthma, or are experiencing troubling breathing symptoms, read on to learn about the causes, common signs, and where to find the Best care in Mohali.

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a condition that affects the airways in your lungs. When you have asthma, those airways become inflamed and overly sensitive, causing them to swell up and restrict airflow. This can lead to all sorts of unpleasant - and sometimes scary - respiratory symptoms.

What Causes Asthma?

The exact cause of asthma is not fully understood, but it's believed to be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some of the most common asthma triggers include:

Allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander

Respiratory infections

Physical activity

Air pollution

Certain medications

If you're unsure what your specific asthma triggers are, the physicians at Best Multi Specialty Clinics in Mohali like Hale Clinics can help you identify them.

Symptoms of Asthma

Asthma symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can come and go. Some of the most telltale signs include:

Persistent coughing, especially at night or in the early morning

Tightness or pain in the chest

Whump Prompt #1166

Anon asked:

Do you have any specific whumps for the aftermath of some sort of inhaled poison/smoke?

I want the whumpee, who heroically escaped from a magic fire, to be begrudgingly weakened by asthma-like symptoms. 

Sure:

Some symptoms for this could include:

Tightness in the chest

Shortness of breath

Chest pain

Gasping for breath

Fatigue

^ The above causing things like light-headedness and anxiousness/panic. This could also result in the whumpee fainting. 

Further symptoms could include:

Blue/pale lips

Confusion

Difficulty walking/talking

These can all be exaggerated by the whumpee having to physically exert themselves/talk a lot in the aftermath of the fire. 

If this is a fantasy setting, maybe their lips turn the colour of the smoke (so green smoke = green lips.) This makes it harder to hide.

Realizing tonight that:

a. Oh I definitely have either exercise-induced asthma or something with similar symptoms, and my doctor really is full of shit when he insists that because I didn't get diagnosed with asthma as a child I'm probably just out of shape (I am out of shape, this is not in question, I maintain that if getting back in shape means coughing up a lung for several hours I am not getting back in shape, also I still had this issue when I felt I was in shape -- but I wasn't thin);

b. A lot of the id appeal of the fic I'm writing now is maybe, um, "what if there was a doctor who sometimes listened to you? Would that be fucked up or what?"

[7oranges]

the question of whether i have adult onset asthma or an anxiety disorder is Not rocket science but oh well. doctors Hate my confounding breathing pattern

[vieramars]

Thinking about break me like a pattern again. That fic has a permanent grip on my soul.

[adhdandcomics]

look. we’ve been though this before. MANY times we’ve been through this before. y’all were there. but somehow. every single time. it catches me off guard.

[tj-crochets]

Hey y’all! Can you please send me pictures of your favorite animals?  I am stressing out about all -ologists I’ll be going to over the next few months and could really use a distraction. On the one hand, I am grateful I can see these doctors, and that my new PCP is taking my health issues seriously and referring me to specialists. On the other, I have been caught in a never ending merry go round of specialists for more than a decade. I am tired. I never get answers, they always just take money and refer me to a new specialist in a loop, and the latest loop has led to the discovery that I am allergic to neurologists.  So...please send me pictures of your favorite animals (for plushie inspiration, and also just because animals are adorable)

[vulcandyke]

[wheeble2252]

Another form of Depression Discourse that I'm extremely wary of is "here are some things that can help with depression, so it's totally curable! You just have to do The Things, even if they're hard."

The issue is that���yes, there are things you may be able to do that can help with depression, for some people. There are habits that are likely to be helpful, like dragging yourself to things you normally like or getting exercise where possible.

Does this mean that those things intrinsically cure depression if you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps try hard enough? No. They can cure some people's depression completely. They can help other people's. It depends on the person.

But for me, the incessant do this, do that, you've got to take responsibility and get over it, has always been far more discouraging than learning about things like the relatively high rate of recurrence. I used to think that the reason I couldn't get past it was wholly on me. It kept coming back because I was lazy or undisciplined or self-indulgent or simply not doing the right things for whatever reason. Not trying hard enough. I told myself that if I could just summon up enough will to push myself past it, I would cure myself by sheer personal strength.

But I never could.

It tended to come back worse when I was under a lot of pressure, but no matter how good things were, it always returned. I'd spend a week or two feeling really good and motivated and energetic, then irritable and anxiously go-go-go yet very distractable—and then there'd be this awful crash into another episode of depression, over and over and over. I lived in my favorite city, I took walks, I went to readings, I volunteered, I kept myself and my apartment clean, and yet I couldn't overcome it.

The only thing that really put a significant dent in it was getting diagnosed as bipolar and put on mood stabilizers and eventually antipsychotics. And it still comes back! The crash is less extreme, most of the time—but I have grad student insurance for my medication, I have a psychiatrist and access to counseling when I need it, legal accommodations, and necessarily keep a fairly strict schedule. Going to my university in person rather than online helps, doing things I ordinarily like helps, sleeping regular hours helps. None of them help very much without medication. And for me, nothing helps enough to cure it.

The point is not that improvement is impossible, or that it never goes away for good. It does for some people! It does for many people. But, without denying the effort those people have put in, there is an element of good fortune to that. I think it's important for the people who aren't cured, who can never pull the bootstraps hard enough, to know that that's not a moral failing. It's not because we're weak or undisciplined, it's not because we aren't trying, it's not because we have any less value or merit than the people who get better or people who never have depression at all.

So, personally, I think a more important, generally accurate, and compassionate message than "depression will get better if you just try hard enough" is this one:

Whether you're cured or not, whether the usual recommendations help much or not, whether medications help or not: this isn't your fault.

Look I don't disbelieve that being out in the dead of winter, including having to bathe outside and any mounting stress caused his Asthma to flare up.

However I do think it's a missed opportunity to bring back up his previously mentioned Cat Allergy.

My boy has literally been living in close proximity to a -big- cat for several days (week? don't remember how much time had passed) at this point. Even if frequently kept in a cage/away from the others there is still likely going to be fur every where, especially considering he went into Beast's tent and hid in her trunk, which those clothes are gonna be covered in fur/dander.

Like if Sebastion's brief contact with the Tiger was enough for Ciel to want to be wary and keep his distance till he cleaned off then literally living in a close environment with said animal it's a wonder he's not at least sneezing more while there.

They could have had Sebastion asking the Doctor, after mentioning possible causes for a Asthma flare up/ to return after not having had one for several years,

"What about allergies?"

Or maybe later when Ciel tries to convince everyone he's fine now and that Obviously it was because he'd spent too much time around that Tiger, but now that they're a way from the Circus he'll be fine.

Idk do something with that

You make a point to bring up / remind us of his cat Allergy at the start of the arc and then give us Ciel having an Asthma attack but don't think to connect the two?

Especially cause right before the attack as I mentioned he was in Beast's tent, and had to hide in her trunk of clothes/stuff that any one who has a cat even if you've cleaned it there's always gonna be fur every where always.

One of the weirdest things about finding out you're traumatized/mentally ill/neurodivergent as an adult is looking back at all the very obvious signs in your childhood and realizing none of the adults responsible for you were paying attention

[soledadcatalina]

Asthma, What is it?

Alt text: Asthma is a common lung condition that occasionally causes breathing difficulties. Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs.This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow. It may happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Although asthma can normally be kept under control, it's still a serious condition that can cause a number of problems. This is why it's important to follow your treatment plan and not ignore your symptoms if they're getting worse. There's also a risk of severe asthma attacks, which can be life threatening.

Shout out to the girlies (gender neutral) who have PAID a medical professional to tell them they can’t help with their symptoms.
