Asthma? Are you short of breath? Difficulties breathing? Asthma frequently occurs with allergies and is an expression of chronically infected airways. When these are infected, too many stimuli enter, which in turn can lead to an attack.

What are symptoms of asthma?

In asthma there is difficulty breathing. Furthermore, people with asthma frequently have difficulties with coughing and breathe in a squeaking manner. Asthma occurs in all age groups. Except for difficulties breathing, people with asthma also often experience a suffocating feeling, because there is not enough fresh air in their lungs.

In some cases, asthma can suddenly disappear, because the contraction which made breathing difficult suddenly is gone. Sometimes this happens at the hand of medication, and in other cases it happens spontaneously.

While asthma complaints do not constantly occur, they can cause serious discomforts for the patient. It reduces one's immune system and can lead to other problems such as, for example, an anxiety disorder.

Asthma is expressed differently in certain age groups. Asthma, for example, is very difficult to diagnose in children younger than 5 years of age, because many young children sometimes suffer from difficult breathing. We often see that asthma either worsens or reduces through puberty. While asthma disappears during puberty, it does not mean that the issues are gone forever. Sometimes, asthma can suddenly pop up again later on.
