Thanks. Really helps me to revise back what my doc told me in an illustrative and easy to remember method.

It was a really nice video. I am Dr Kanchan from BIBO. I would like to say that lifestyle and diet changes play an equally important role in managing asthma. It is good to know what is triggering your asthma symptoms so that managing the condition becomes a little easy.

neocromil= mast cell stabilizer -> dec histamine release

theophylline is competitive nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor which raises intracellular cAMP, activates PKA, inhibits TNF-alpha[10][11] and inhibits leukotriene[12] synthesis, and reduces inflammation and innate immunity[12]

nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist, [13] antagonizing A1, A2, and A3 receptors almost equally, which explains many of its cardiac effects

Theophylline has been shown to inhibit TGF-beta-mediated conversion of pulmonary fibroblasts into myofibroblasts in COPD and asthma via cAMP-PKA pathway and suppresses COL1 mRNA, which codes for the protein collagen.[14]

Hey amazing video! Really helped a lot. Also, could you classify those 6 steps of drug therapy into mild, moderate and severe asthma treatment?

My spirometer and lung function test was “unremarkable” but I still have issues breathing and get shortness of breath often. Sucks :(

Slow determined sniffs deal with asthma by acupressure on lips. Steer clear of spray which weakens lungs.

In Ayurveda, bronchial asthma is termed as ‘Tamak Swasa’. It is mainly caused by Vata and Kapha dosha. Swasa is classified into five types – Mahaswasa (Dyspnoea major), Urdhawaswasa (Expiratory dyspnoea), Chinna swasa (Chyne stroke respiration), Kshudra swasa (Dyspnoea minor), Tamaka swasa (Bronchial asthma)

Good video, however last GINA guideline from 2015 included a LAMA from step 4, a from step 5 the referal to a specialt to evaulate the use of a biologic.

The most important point about asthma is not mouth breathing
When mouth breathing the lips are not pressed together and the airways not kept open automatically by a reflex.
For an explanation see "pnf breathing techniques perioral"

[rebeccabarba]

Thank's for your explanation about asthma

[susieannmedley]

Oh man I am looking for anything, I get a multiple cold every year and they told me I have asthma, I use steroids but it seem to not help, I just changed my paleontologist so I will see. This is scary.

[arjunrampalrampal]

Like in the old tooth-worm notion lasting millenia that tooth caries was due to a worm the present asthma theory about treating asthma with medication is wrong and we have the asthma-paradox that more medication causes more asthma.
In other cultures mudras such as pressing a finger against the thumb (chin mudra) with the mouth shut are used to treat asthma by relaxing our lung airways.
Christian prayer with interlaced fingers is the ambuja mudra.
