Asthma in some cases is characterized by chronic respiratory damage and in other hand it is a discontinuous sickness that is marked by interrupted symptoms that may result from a number of triggering events which includes respiratory infection, airborne allergens, air pollutants, stress or exercise.
As an asthmatic patient, you may have some of these symptoms such as, coughing, breathlessness, dysonea and inability for physical action. You may also experience severe shortness of breath and tightening of the lungs and this symptom may be confused with another chronic sickness.
In the case of severe attack, you as an asthma patient turn blue because of lack of oxygen and can also experience severe chest pain and can loose consciousness. But before this, there may be chances that you as a patient will feel lack of sensation in your limb and your palms may start to sweat and the feet become cold.
In other words, severe asthma attacks may not respond to a normal treatment. Asthma threatens life a lot and may lead to respiratory arrest and if care is not taken, the patient may end up loosing his or her life.
In most cases asthma may show few or no sign in some patient despite the harshness of its symptoms in any human being and unfortunate ones.
Thus, as a patient you may also experience rapid breathing, prolonged expiration, lung sounds, a rapid heart bit rate and also over inflation of the chest. And for the period of a serious asthma attack, the muscles used for respiration used or shown as in drawing of tissues between the ribs and clavicles. Though in some patients, coughing is the early symptom experience and in the late stages of an attack, air motion may be so impaired that no wheezing may be heard.
