Bronchial asthma is a very common disease in clinical practice. There are many and complex factors that trigger bronchial asthma. Therefore, treatments for bronchial asthma in clinical practice can only improve the condition to some extent but cannot completely cure it. Patients with mild bronchial asthma can also undergo acupoint massage, which has a good auxiliary conditioning effect. Commonly chosen acupoints for massage include Dazhui, Dingchuan, and Neiguan, which can appropriately alleviate bronchial asthma. The frequency of each massage is twice a day, with each session involving about 20 to 40 presses, which can achieve a certain degree of relief.

Can people with bronchial asthma eat eggs?

Bronchial asthma patients are advised not to eat eggs. Eggs are considered trigger foods that may aggravate symptoms. Furthermore, eggs can cause allergies in some individuals. If bronchial asthma is allergy-induced, it is advisable to avoid eggs. Additionally, it is crucial for patients with bronchial asthma to identify and avoid allergens. Under a doctor's guidance, they can take medications to control and alleviate asthma symptoms. It is also important to identify any sources of infection and, with medical advice, take appropriate anti-infection medications for treatment. Patients should ensure that their airways are clear, rest adequately, avoid overexertion, maintain a calm mood, refrain from excessive stress, and avoid getting angry or anxious.

What will happen if bronchial asthma is not treated?

Bronchial asthma is a very common type of asthma in clinical settings, triggered by numerous and complex factors. Generally, patients with this condition often experience frequent recurrent attacks into asthmatic states. Since there is no specific cure for this type of asthma in clinical settings, symptom relief through medication is used to improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is usual in clinical practice to provide symptomatic treatment promptly once bronchial asthma is diagnosed. If bronchial asthma is left untreated, it may pose significant health risks. During an asthma attack, patients may experience varying degrees of shortness of breath, chest tightness, or even difficulty breathing. If the respiratory distress caused by an asthma attack is not relieved in time, it could lead to complications such as hypoxemia or even respiratory failure in some cases.

Is bronchial asthma airflow limitation reversible?

The airflow limitation in bronchial asthma is completely reversible, which is related to the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the occurrence of bronchial asthma. Bronchial asthma is a chronic airway inflammation involving multiple inflammatory cells. When this airway inflammation occurs, there can be edema of the airway mucosa as well as spasm and contraction of the smooth muscles outside the bronchi. However, this inflammation and smooth muscle spasm are reversible through medication or spontaneous improvement. Thus, many patients with mild asthma can achieve symptom relief without medication. In the case of some severe patients, even though the airflow is restricted, it can be reversed with the use of medications, and generally, the recovery is very quick.

The cause of airflow limitation in bronchial asthma.

Bronchial asthma airflow limitation is a respiratory physiological feature of our bronchial asthma, and its limitation is mainly related to the pathophysiological mechanism of asthma. Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation involving multiple cells caused by various reasons. When inflammation occurs, the mucosa will become edematous, and the smooth muscle outside the airway will also spasm and contract. Therefore, the airflow cannot smoothly enter and exit the bronchi, leading to the manifestation of airflow limitation in the bronchi. Thus, in the treatment of asthma, we need to use some bronchodilator drugs, as well as some anti-inflammatory drugs, so as to comprehensively control the patient's symptoms.
