What are the symptoms of a chronic asthma exacerbation?

Although asthma is a disease that can act backwards, we still have a complete understanding of the specific ** that induces this disease, but patients can understand what the symptoms of this disease are, so as to detect the disease as soon as possible. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of chronic asthma. There is no difference between acute and chronic asthma attacks, during which people see a doctor for shortness of breath with coughing, wheezing and anxiety.

The degree of shortness of breath is not closely related to the degree of airflow obstruction, but is often affected by the severity of the attack. Dyspnea may occur only during exercise, after taking aspirin, after exposure to a specific known antigen, or for unidentified reasons. In variant asthma, coughing, hoarseness, and staying awake through the night are the only symptoms.

In patients with acute attacks, the accessory muscles are used during inhalation (retraction sign), and the chest is usually hyperinflated, and the exhalation is longer than that of inhalation. Wheezing is the main physical finding, but it does not establish a diagnosis. Wheezing is generally audible during both the expiratory and inspiratory phases, but is louder during the expiratory phase.

Wheezing is characterized by polytonic and monotonous, with the former being more common than the latter. May be accompanied by additional sounds, including dry rales (suggesting secretions in the airway lumen) or crackles (suggesting localised infection or heart failure). Decreased or absent breath sounds in patients with asthma indicate severe airflow obstruction.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms and manifestations of chronic asthma. For asthma disease, what everyone knows better is that if you are too emotional, it can also be induced; Once the attack occurs, the patient will have symptoms of dyspnea, and if measures are not taken in time, the patient may be in danger of life.

The main symptoms of an asthma attack are: first, there are often allergic symptoms a few minutes before an asthma attack, such as itchy nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and dry cough. These manifestations are called aura symptoms. Immediately afterwards, chest tightness occurs with a pressure in the chest like a heavy stone, and after about 10 minutes, it becomes difficult to breathe, at which point the "asthma sound" can be heard without even the doctor's stethoscope, and the patient is forced to sit upright, with his head stretched forward, his shoulders raised, and his hands firmly propped up, panting hard.

Such episodes can last from tens of minutes to half an hour, and are relieved by themselves or by **. Sometimes asthma attacks begin without aura. Some asthma attacks last for several days, often suffocate because of extreme difficulty breathing, and often die due to heart failure and physical exhaustion.

There are also asthma symptoms atypical, manifested by long-term repeated dry cough, itchy throat, chest tightness and discomfort, general anti-inflammatory cough ** is ineffective, it should be thought that it may not be typical asthma, often given asthma ** and relieved.

When this disease occurs, people will suddenly have difficulty breathing, will breathe violently, and will have convulsions, rolling their eyes, these are all symptoms, and this disease is very serious. Be sure to go to the hospital in time, otherwise it will be fatal.

What are the early symptoms of an acute asthma attack? Patients with acute asthma have certain precursor signs before the onset of the disease, which is also known as the aura of acute asthma. Seasonal asthma patients with obvious aura symptoms are often more obvious, so we should know more about relevant knowledge, because only by understanding the symptoms of acute asthma can we achieve early detection and early **, so the following will introduce you to what symptoms will occur before an acute asthma attack.

1. Cough for several days, chest tightness and increased cough sputum volume, not easy to obtain; 2. Allergic rhinitis or aggravated symptoms, such as sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, nasopharynx, itchy eyes; 3. Respiratory symptoms such as fever, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough; 4. The high incidence season of asthma, the spring of long-term physical fatigue and psychological fatigue; 5. Children are usually naughty and noisy, suddenly do not like to play, speak little, are mentally exhausted, cry, do not think about eating and drinking, etc.; 6. Female asthma patients, premenstrual asthma or menstrual history, 5 days before menstruation7 days, menstrual period; 7. Allergic rhinitis, eczema and other allergic infant diseases; 8。Long-term dry cough is not well controlled.

Headaches, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, heart failure, shortness of breath, purple lips, etc., are the most common symptoms.

It can be judged by the body that there may be symptoms of dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, cough and sputum production in the early stage of the disease.

If you usually feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it is very difficult to breathe, you often cough up phlegm, sleep very uncomfortable, and you are particularly prone to allergies, it means that you have acute asthma.

Poor breathing, very uncomfortable body, pale face, dark lips, and weakness are all symptoms of the early stage of asthma.

In the early stages, there will be coughing or difficulty breathing, nose breathing, itchy nose, and sneezing.
