3. Introduction
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes
occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in
childhood, although it can also develop for the first
time in adults.
There's currently no cure, but there are simple
treatments that can help keep the symptoms under
control so it doesn't have a big impact on your life.

4. Types of Asthma
Adult-Onset Asthma
Allergic Asthma
Non Allergic Asthma
Asthma-COPD Overlap
Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB)
Occupational Asthma

5. Symptoms
 Wheezing (a whistling
sound when breathing)
 Breathlessness
 Tight chest, which may
feel like a band is
tightening around it
 Coughing
 The symptoms
can sometimes get
temporarily worse.
This is known as
an Asthma attack.

6. Asthma Attack
The set of inflammatory events in the respiratory
system can lead to the severe symptoms of an
Asthma Attack.
Worldwide, around 250,000 people die every year as
a result of asthma
Asthma attacks occur when symptoms are at their
peak. They might begin suddenly and can range
from mild to severe.

7. Causes a
nd
Triggers
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 occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma
triggers include:
Allergies – to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen
Smoke, pollution and cold air
Exercise
Infections like colds or flu
Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your
symptoms under control.

10. What happens in Asthma?

11. Treatment

12. Two Main Types of Inhalers
Reliever inhalers Preventer inhalers
Used when needed to quickly
relieve asthma symptoms for a
short time
Used every day to prevent
asthma symptoms occurring
Act by reducing the
breathlessness and wheezing.
Act by reducing the
inflammation in the airways of
the lungs
Example-Salbutamol Example-Steroids

13. Peak Flow Meters
 Peak flow meters are
used to measure
the peak expiratory
flow rate, Important in
both Monitoring and
Diagnosing Asthma

14. Spirometer
 Small instrument that
measures the amount
of air you can breathe
in and out.

19. Between 15 and 20 million people have asthma in
India, estimates the World Health Organization, with
some studies putting the numbers higher at 30
million.
Prevalence is high at 10% and 15% in 5–11-year-old
children
This makes asthma the most common chronic
disorder in children in India.
