How to Treat Your Breathing Problems?
If you have allergies, asthma or other breathing difficulties you may have spent sleepless nights. However, a better understanding of your condition can help you get control, along with the right diagnosis and treatment. Which type of respiratory problem you have doesn't matter. Daily control is essential for an active and productive life.
What Causes Problems with Breathing?
Some people get difficult to breathe when it's cold. It is caused by infections such as sinusitis for others. Sinusitis can make it difficult to respire through your nose for a week or two before the inflammation begins to drain. Therefore, acute sinusitis treatment is imperative.
Many have long-term (chronic) breathing problems. Chronic sinusitis, allergies, and asthma are included in the list. Symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, chest congestion, coughing, wheezing, breathing difficulties and shallow breathing can take place.
Your nasal pathway passage is the entry point for viruses and allergens to the lungs. There are many lung disorders that come from your nose and sinus. Inflammation of the sinus or nasal passage can trigger attacks. And allergies are the number one triggering agent for asthma.
Over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies. And 17 million US adults are suffering from asthma. Both occur often together. They can make life wretched if treatment is not taken.
Allergy Rhinitis Symptoms
For athletes and the general population, allergic rhinitis is common. Sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose are common symptoms. You may experience allergic rhinitis seasonally if you have symptom only at certain times of the year.
The chronic allergic rhinitis is not more common than nasal congestion and runny nose. In conjunction with asthma, many people get rhinitis, which can further challenge breathing.
Chronic Sinusitis Symptoms
Chronic sinusitis is another common problem for athletes. The sinuses in your facial bones are air-filled cavities connected to your nose. If you experience sinusitis, your sinuses become inflamed, which can result in blocking of your nose.
It can cause a painful increase in pressure in the sinus cavities when your sinus is blocked. Symptoms of sinusitis are:
Headache
Pain in face
Toothache
Congestion
Thick mucus
Smell loss
Runny nose
