Is there a scientific name for asthma?
When people talk about bronchial asthma, they are really talking about asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes periodic "attacks" of coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
What is asthma scientifically?
Asthma is a chronic lung disease. Common symptoms are wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. During an asthma attack, the sides of the airways in lungs swell and the airways shrink, making it harder to breathe.
What is the medical term for severe asthma?
Severe bronchial asthma is another term for severe asthma. Both terms refer to the chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that is typically characterized by bronchial hyperreactivity.
What is the name of asthma in English?
a paroxysmal, often allergic disorder of respiration, characterized by bronchospasm, wheezing, and difficulty in expiration, often accompanied by coughing and a feeling of constriction in the chest. Also called bronchial asthma.
What is another name for asthma?
You might hear your doctor call it a chronic respiratory disease. Some people refer to asthma as "bronchial asthma."
What are the 3 types of asthma?
Common asthma types include: Allergic asthma. Non-allergic asthma. Cough-variant asthma.
What is asthma A level biology?
Asthma is a common, chronic inflammation of the airways to the lungs (i.e. bronchi and bronchioles) Inflammation leads to swelling and mucus production, resulting in reduced airflow and bronchospasm. During an acute asthma attack, constriction of the bronchi smooth muscle may cause significant airflow obstruction.
What is the biological cause of asthma?
Exposure to various irritants and substances that trigger allergies (allergens) can trigger signs and symptoms of asthma. Asthma triggers are different from person to person and can include: Airborne allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander or particles of cockroach waste.
Who studies asthma?
An allergist specializes in allergies, asthma, and allergic asthma. Internist. An internist is a doctor who specializes in internal medicine -- the study of diseases in adults, particularly those related to internal organs and general medicine -- and who has completed three years of training after medical school.
What are the 4 categories of asthma?
The EPR-3 guideline classification divides asthma severity into four groups: intermittent, persistent-mild, persistent-moderate, and persistent-severe.
What is type2 asthma?
Type 2 asthma is characterised by Type 2 inflammation and typically includes allergic asthma, exercise-induced asthma, and late-onset eosinophilic asthma. Understanding of allergic, eosinophilic, and mixed allergic/eosinophilic phenotypes has greatly advanced and may underpin new approaches to improve asthma control.
What is Stage 3 asthma?
Third stage: moderate persistent asthma
It becomes difficult to ignore. Symptoms. In moderate persistent asthma, daytime symptoms occur every day. Nighttime symptoms are also more common, becoming noticeable 5 or more times a month.
How did asthma get its name?

Is asthma a disability?
Yes. In both the ADA and Section 504, a person with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment that seriously limits one or more major life activities, or who is regarded as having such impairments. Asthma and allergies are usually considered disabilities under the ADA.
Is asthma an autoimmune disease?
Asthma is caused by an overreaction from the immune system to certain triggers. This is similar to a class of diseases caused by an immune system response. These are called autoimmune conditions. However, asthma is not considered an autoimmune disease.
