ASTHMA
Early diagnosis is the key to
treating asthma.
A two
way relationship between the patient and the doctor is extremely
important for diagnosing illnesses.
Now-a-days doctors laid emphasis on the need for informed patients,
which would be possible only when awareness levels improve. In most
cases, knowledge of a particular ailment or symptom stopped with
familiarity.
Many
are affected by occupational asthma because of the neglect of the
symptoms.
SYMPTOMS
wheezing
shortness of breath
difficulty in exercising and
cough
These are the symptoms doctors are looking for
while diagnosing occupational asthma. The symptoms tended to aggravate
through the week and get mitigated during weekends.
Asthma was of polygenic origin and no single
gene could be held responsible for the ailment. Prevalence of asthma is
very high. Early diagnosis is very important. Many tend to neglect
cough, which could, in some cases, be a symptom for asthma. Those with
the family history of asthma should be careful while choosing jobs.
