Asthma: Know The Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
While there are approximately 2 crore asthma patients globally, every one out of ten people is suffering from this ailment in India. Be it a developed or underdeveloped nation, asthma is widespread in all the countries and is considered as the most chronic disease (as per WHO) among children.
According to a study, 90% of childhood asthma and 50% of adult asthma occur due to environmental allergens such as dust, pollen, insects and domestic animals. Moreover, around 63,000 patients suffered from asthma during 2013-2017 due to allergens like dust carried by cockroaches, which was the foremost cause in 60 percent of the cases. Having said that, the first step to prevent yourself from asthma is to know its exact cause. Undergoing tests from recognised pathology labs like Scientific Pathology is highly recommended. They offer a special health checkup package named Allergy Whole Body Detection Panel for detecting the real reason behind asthmatic conditions.
Symptoms of Asthma:
Immediately avail of diagnostic services if you detect the following symptoms:
Severe coughing while laughing, exercising or during night time
Recurrent squealing or whistling sound made while breathing
Pain and tightness in the chest
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Irritability
Though there are different types of asthma yet the aforementioned symptoms are common in all. These signs occur before the first asthma attack, it’s better to detect them at the earliest.
Causes of Asthma:
Some of the common causes reported by the researchers are:
l Genetics: One is more likely to develop asthma if any of the parents have it.
l History of Viral Infections: People who have been previously affected by viral infections during childhood are prone to asthma.
l Immune System: Since babies are not exposed to enough bacteria in their early months and years, their immune systems might not be strong enough to fight off asthmatic conditions during that time.
l Early exposure to allergens: Recurrent contact with possible allergens and irritants may increase your risk of developing asthma.
Common Asthma triggering allergens:
Respiratory illnesses like flu and pneumonia
Heavy work out, the increased movement making it more difficult to breathe
Sensitivity towards irritants such as chemical fumes, strong odours, and smoke
Allergens from animals namely dander, dust mites, and pollen
Extreme weather conditions like high humidity or low temperature
Laughing, crying or shouting
Environmental triggers
How it can be treated?
There are three ways through which asthma can be treated - doing breathing exercises, getting rescue or first aid treatments or starting the long-term medication to control asthma. Depending on your medical condition, the doctor will suggest treatments accordingly. The one-step that remains constant in all types of asthma is going for tests to know the exact cause.
Budget Tip: Go for those pathology labs that offer health checkup packages, covering a group of tests in one category to make diagnostic services considerably affordable.
While our body functions with the help of numerous elements, one of the most essential components turn out to be is Vitamin C. Also known as L-ascorbic acid, this vitamin greatly helps in maintaining ...
A lot of health check-up packages offered by pathology labs focus upon diagnosing the deficiency of Vitamin D. But many people are still unaware of the relevance of it.
Understanding Hypothyroidism
A butterfly-shaped organ on your neck’s base is the thyroid gland. Yes, the gland which releases hormones and controls your entire metabolism. From breathing, heart rate, body temperature to body weight, muscle strength, cholesterol levels and much more are regulated by the thyroid gland.
Problems occur when this gland is struck with dysfunction. When the thyroid gland stops producing enough hormones, the body’s metabolism goes into imbalance. This situation is known as hypothyroidism or under-active thyroid. Women are more observed to be affected by this ailment as compared to men. Usually it is affected by people above the age of 60 but can start on any age.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism are a bit complicated. While signs of hypothyroidism vary from person to person, sometimes they are not even visible. One may not be able to easily understand that the changes in the body are because of this condition. In some cases, the symptoms of this ailment are recognised gradually – as the thyroid slows down, more symptoms appear.
Following signs are detected when one is suffering from hyperthyroidism:
Extreme fatigue and muscle weakness
Depression
Dry skin and sensitivity on face
Increased weight and constipation
Increased blood cholesterol
Slower heart rates
Dryness and thinning in hair
Fertility and menstrual complications
Pain in joints
Impaired memory
What are the causes?
Human immune system is designed in such a way that it prevents the bacteria and other harmful cells from growing in the body and thus protects it. The moment any bacteria or virus enters the body, the immune system launches fighter cells or antibodies to destroy the foreign cells.
But sometimes the human body starts to dysfunction and healthy cells get destroyed instead of the foreign cells. This is, basically, called an autoimmune response. If this malfunction isn’t treated properly, it can lead to serious health issues including hypothyroidism.
How it can be detected?
If symptoms of hypothyroidism (as already discussed) are detected then consult a doctor. After analysing your medical history, the doctor will prescribe certain tests that will measure the FT3, FT4 and TSH levels. If the FT4 levels are low TSH levels are high, that means the person is suffering from hypothyroidism. Availing diagnostic services that provide 100% results and offer various cost-effective health check-up packages is highly recommended. Scientific Pathology can be trusted for the same. Providing services successfuly under the guidance of the eminent Dr. Ashok Sharma, they have a separate health check-up package named ‘thyroid detection panel’ for detecting the disease.
How it can be treated?
The basic treatment to knock out hypothyroidism is certain medications that your doctor will prescribe. Also, mind your food habits; this will enhance the healing process. Depression and anxiety disorders can also be experienced during hypothyroidism, regular workout and doing what makes you happy would also be of great help.
Be Wary of Home Delivery Services!
What could be better than having ice-creams, and fresh fruit juice delivered to our doorstep on a hot summer day! Not having to carry those heavy shopping bags of grocery, clothes, shoes, etc is indeed a big relief. Even best pathology labs in Agra, a small town, have home collection centres to collect blood samples from our residence. Seems like this is a good time to live in. But not really, these comforts come with a price!
Modern milieu allows an individual to spend months holed-up inside one’s house without ever having to step out. Work from home online, online transactions and purchases for grocery, clothes and even electronic gadgets. If at all someone does feel like socialising, there is always the option of video chat. What is wrong with such a situation is that, in a country where the youth population is extensively migrating to urban spaces, such social isolation can be lethal. The youngsters, displaced from family, friends and familiar places of childhood - thrown into a new competitive urban setting, is itself emotionally upsetting. In fact, ‘social-displacement syndrome’ consists of two sets of characteristics: first set comprises of periods of escape and psychological stress, followed and highlighted by nostalgia, helplessness, anger, fear etc., while second consists of a cluster of symptoms including paranoid behavior, hypochondria, and sleep disturbances associated with anxiety and/or depression.
While migration is one of the many reasons for urban youth to cut off society, we are also constantly being lured into a state of sedation and lull through numerous digital stimuli: television, Netflix series, internet, Instagram, social networking sites, etc. Its quite easy to go with the flow and not realise that we haven’t interacted with people for days on end. Our sedentary lifestyle at home, along with the online delivery of junk food will ensure that we pile up fat. Obesity is a major reason behind mental disorders, which will in turn make us shun society and hole-up, and the vicious cycle repeats itself.
It would be safe to conclude that isolating oneself from society can be both a symptom and cause of mental disorders. Though it’s quite convenient to not spend energy by going out, it is absolutely necessary for our sanity that we go out to socialise. We are social beings wired to live in groups interacting with fellow beings. Too much deviation from this norm can prove dangerous. So go out, make meaningful friendships, talk, listen, go shopping with friends, have fun and be happy! So even if you live in a small town near Taj Mahal, and you need to get your blood or urine tested, go out and visit a diagnostic centre in Agra!
People generally ignore their allergic behavior. They should be consulting a professional, providing diagnostic services to find the reason behind their allergies.
Going for regular health checkups is a good habit that we all should develop. A lot of future complications can be evaded that way.
