Minimizing Asthma Wheezing

Posted Feb 18 2011 10:46pm

Wheezing is known to be a symptom of different serious illnesses such as asthma and even threatening heart diseases that can result in death. This is a serious threat that should not be taken for granted, with the possible diseases that it may result from. A person who wheezes successively and not been diagnosed with asthma needs to seek help from medical practitioners so that whatever illness causes it may be treated earlier.

Wheezing, whether it is a first occurrence or a recurring event should be given attention. It signals the difficulty or inability to breathe; especially if it is accompanied by bluish skin, altered mental state, or follows an insect bite. If hives or facial swelling occurs along with wheezing, it can only either be a severe asthma attack or anaphylaxis due to allergy. Both cases need emergency medical attention.

Wheezing is commonly a symptom of an asthma attack. An asthma attack can be kept at bay by avoiding triggers. The only trigger that an asthmatic may not be able to avoid is the sudden change of weather which can trigger an attack. This is backed up by research. Studies show that asthma and wheezing in the United States often occurs between summer and spring. This is mostly due to asthma resulting from allergic reactions. Asthma can also be caused by airborne allergens or irritants. These include pollen, chemicals, pet dander, and dust mites. Wheezing and asthma resulting from eating food or from insect stings are because of allergy.

If wheezing is accompanied with chest pains, it may be a heart-related illness. Heart failures or cardiac arrests are associated to wheezing in some way, and these are life-threatening illnesses. Sometimes swelling legs or feet accompanies them.

Successive wheezing can be a symptom of any life threatening diseases. Taking early action by seeking the advice of a health professional can prevent the more serious ailments that cause the wheezing.
