Nowadays, asthma and allergic diseases have become increasingly prevalent, which is affecting over fifty million people in the world, which counts to more than twenty per cent of the total population. Asthma is considered to be chronic illness and asthmatics usually suffer from inflamed, sore and constricted airways that prevent the lungs from taking in more air. Asthma attacks are defined as bad episodes of this constriction and inflammation in the respiratory system. Such episodes can be caused due to a number of environment stimulants such as pollen, dander, cold and warm air and dust. Subsequently asthma sufferers also experience symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain and tightness etc. additionally during extreme episodes of asthma attacks an asthmatic might even die due to lack of oxygen. Many people suffering from asthma also suffer from allergies; however it is not necessary that allergy sufferers might also be a victim of asthma. Allergy can be defined as abnormal sensitivity to the given substance including pollens or various environmental triggers. People suffering from allergies can face runny nose or a wheezing or life threatening as shock and death. Unfortunately as asthma can be controlled, airborne allergies are some of the biggest triggers of allergy symptoms. These allergic triggers can exist everywhere from food to organic dander and plants to the air that you breathe. Asthma and allergy medications can be used along with air purifiers, which can be considered to be one effective method for controlling allergens such as dust, pollen and dander in the house.
Nebulizers can also be used during asthma an attack, which is an air compressor often, called a breathing machine and is used to inhale liquid medicine. These are usually used by asthma patients for administering medication to the lungs, expanding the airways and thereby creating freer breathing. Nebulizers are quite easy to clean and simply to use. In most of the cases, the medicine is inhaled by the patient over a period of twenty minutes duration through a face mask that covers the nose as well as the mouth. On the other hand for allergy control, there are special types of soft and breathable mattresses available, which are made up of soft polyester fabric. The best part of these mattresses is that they can be machine washed and dried. Apart from using such equipment, there are also asthma and allergy medicines available, which can also provide a patient relief from such traumatic conditions.
