Types of asthma

Asthma is broken down into types based on the cause and the severity of symptoms. Healthcare providers identify asthma as: Intermittent: This type of asthma comes and goes so you can feel normal in between asthma flares. Persistent: Persistent asthma means you have symptoms much of the time. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. Healthcare providers base asthma severity on how often you have symptoms. They also consider how well you can do things during an attack. Asthma has multiple causes: Allergic: Some people’s allergies can cause an asthma attack. Allergens include things like molds, pollens and pet dander. Non-allergic: Outside factors can cause asthma to flare up. Exercise, stress, illness and weather may cause a flare. Asthma can also be: Adult-onset: This type of asthma starts after the age of 18. Pediatric: Also called childhood asthma, this type of asthma often begins before the age of 5, and can occur in infants and toddlers. Children may outgrow asthma. You should make sure that you discuss it with your provider before you decide whether your child needs to have an inhaler available in case they have an asthma attack. Your child’s healthcare provider can help you understand the risks. In addition, there are these types of asthma: Exercise-induced asthma: This type is triggered by exercise and is also called exercise-induced bronchospasm. Occupational asthma: This type of asthma happens primarily to people who work around irritating substances. Asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS): This type happens when you have both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both diseases make it difficult to breathe.

I’ve been living with COPD for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief. While conventional medications provided temporary help, the symptoms always returned and often got worse.Out of a mix of hope and hesitation, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. But around the fourth month, I began to notice real, steady progress:My breathing became easier the tightness in my chest lessened my energy levels slowly started to return It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but it was consistent and truly life changing. For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my health. I can breathe more freely, sleep more peacefully, and enjoy daily life without the constant fatigue and breathlessness I once accepted as normal.The improvements I’ve experienced physically, emotionally, and mentally have been nothing short of uplifting.If you’re exploring natural options for managing COPD, I wholeheartedly recommend NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Their approach has made a real difference in my life, and I’m genuinely grateful I gave it a chance.www.naturepathherbalclinic.com info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
