Can you recognize most of the asthma symptoms that you have? Some symptoms are easily detected and are easy to treat early on, but there are others that may seem unrelated to your condition. If you've experienced a situation where you were okay one minute and gasping for air the next, then it's likely that there was a symptom that appeared prior to the attack that you failed to recognize.
The hidden symptoms of asthma typically appear before the actual attack. The chances that your asthma can trigger without any prior noticeable symptom are low. They only happen in more than one-tenth of all asthma attacks. This means that in about nine out of ten asthma attacks, there will be warning signs for you to take note of so as to prevent the asthma exacerbation. This is very important in your quest to effectively manage asthma. You may already know the other more common symptoms. These are wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Here are three other symptoms that you may pass off as not being of asthmatic nature:
Pale, sweaty face: believe it or not, this is an asthma symptom. Wondering this can be in any way connected to asthma? The reason is actually very simple, as your bronchial tubes gradually start to close due to contact with a foreign object, air can still get in comfortably but not reach every system in your body that needs it, this minimal yet gradual strain on your body begins to show as the symptom begins to worsen; which of course results in your face turning pale accompanied by breakout of cold sweat.
Feeling anxious or panicky: The milder version of the one mentioned above, this is caused by the same gradual constriction of the bronchial tubes starving your body of that much needed oxygen without you noticing it (at first). This feeling is brought about because you know that something is amiss but you can't seem to put your finger on the culprit. Same as with the symptom above, when not given proper attention, this symptom can make itself more known later on in the form of asthma attacks.
Fatigue: Fatigue is a dangerous type of asthma symptom because of the time it can take before bringing out the true reason. Attacks can be very severe and if not given proper attention, fatal. Experiencing fatigue even with sufficient rest or for almost no particular reason should not be ignored as it is most likely due to your condition. If you feel this symptom, talk to your doctor so that further diagnosis and treatment can be made.
Asthma is very manageable and controllable, but you will need relevant knowledge and proper action to make that happen. Learn all you can about the symptoms so that you won't be caught off guard in the future.
