What is Asthma ?
The term asthma (Gr. Asthma =panting ) means ‘gasping
for breath’. It is an affection of the lungs and characterized by
difficulty of breathing. Occurring in paroxysms, attended with
suffocation, constriction sensation across the chest, cough and wheezing.
Each paroxysm terminates by expectoration of more or less quantity of
mucus. The patient usually sits or stands, his arms elevated so as to lift
upward and outward the walls of the chest. He often wants the window and
doors to be opened and makes frequent efforts to expel something from the
air passages by hawking or coughing. His face has an anxious expression,
the extremities are generally cold and there is often cold perspiration
on the forehead, face or chest. There is frequent palpitation of
the heart or arteries. The pulse is irregular, quick or intermittent and
expectoration does not afford relief. The breathing is short but fast with
difficulty in expiration. Asthma is either dry or humid. The attacks of
dry asthma are much more sudden, violent and short duration, the cough is
slight and expectoration scanty. In moist or humid asthma the attacks are
slow but more protracted, cough being more severe, expectoration commences
early and when it becomes copious usually affords relief. Asthma usually
sets in suddenly and generally at night. In children, however, its onset
is almost always as sudden as spasmodic croup*. The patient is compelled
to sit up in bed in order to get his breath. There is no cough nor much,
if any, expectoration. The breathing is wheezing, rasping, whistling in
character. It is usually rendered some what easier by bending forward with
shoulder elevated, patient grasping at his knees. The attack of asthma may
last for an hour, a half dozen hours or two or three days depending upon
its severity. As the paroxysms subsides there is more or less cough and
expectoration. The sputum consist of
round tenacious masses. In some cases there is frothy sputum that is more
or less ropy. It is hardly found mixed with blood. The patient is
exhausted at the end of an attack, whether it has lasted only a few
minutes or continued for some hours. The length of the intervals between
attacks varies in different individuals. Some patients enjoy good health
in the intervals, others show signs of bronchitis.
