Asthma-Dr-Qaisar-Ahmed-Dixe-Cosmetics

Asthma is a clinical syndrome of chronic airway inflammation characterized by recurrent, reversible, airway obstruction. Airway inflammation also leads to airway hyperreactivity, which causes airways to narrow in response to various stimuli.

Asthma results from complex interactions between an individual’s inherited genetic makeup and interactions with the environment. The factors that cause a genetically predisposed individual to become asthmatic are poorly understood.

The following are risk factors for asthma:

  • Family history of allergic conditions
  • Personal history of hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
  • Viral respiratory illness, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), during childhood
  • Exposure to cigarette smoke
  • Obesity
  • Lower socioeconomic status
  • Exposure to air pollution or burning biomass

Different types of asthma

Asthma may not be the same in different affected individuals. Asthma specialists currently use a variety of clinical data to categorize a patient’s asthma. This data includes the age of asthma onset, the presence or absence of environmental allergies, the presence or absence of elevated blood or sputum levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell), lung function testing (spirometry and fractional excretion of nitric oxide), obesity, and cigarette smoke exposure.

Types: T2 high or non T2 (T2 low)

Allergic or eosinophilic?  One or both of these characteristics make up a “T2 high” phenotype of asthma, which is the term for the type of immune inflammation associated with asthma. The allergic type typically develops in childhood, but elders could be effected too, is associated with environmental allergies, food allergies or eczema, are often also present.

Allergic asthma often goes into remission in early adulthood. However, in many cases, asthma reappears later. Sometimes allergic asthma can appear with elevated blood or sputum eosinophils. Asthma that develops in adulthood may be associated with sputum or blood eosinophils. Sometimes patients in this category also have nasal polyps, which are eosinophil-rich growths in the nasal lining.

Non T2 asthma, or T2 low asthma, comprises a smaller yet difficult-to-treat proportion of asthma that is not associated with allergies or eosinophils. This type of asthma is sometimes called “neutrophilic asthma” and may be associated with obesity.

Asthma and Blood Oxygen Levels

Blood oxygen levels can get low due to any of the problems that include:

  • Low air oxygen levels: Atmospheric oxygen becomes extremely low at high altitudes such as mountainous regions.
  • Decreased capacity of the body to take in oxygen: This can be caused by lung conditions that include asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and more.
  • Other conditions include anemia, sleep apnea, and smoking
  • Decreased capacity of the heart to supply the oxygenated blood back to the lungs

Symptoms

The classic signs and symptoms of asthma are shortness of breath, cough (often worse at night), and wheezing (high-pitched whistling sound produced by turbulent airflow through narrow airways, typically with exhalation). Many patients also report chest tightness.

It is important to note that these symptoms are episodic, and individuals with asthma can go long periods without any symptoms.

Common triggers for asthmatic symptoms include exposure to allergens (pets, cockroaches, molds, Acid fumes, pants/color fumes, drugs industry, dust mites, pollens etc), exercise, viral infections, strong emotions, odor exposure, and temperature extremes etc. Tobacco use or exposure to secondhand smoke complicates asthma management.

Many of the symptoms and signs of asthma are nonspecific and can be seen in other conditions as well such as chest discomfort, lightheadedness, palpitations, and fatigue), and lack of response to appropriate medications for asthma.

The physical exam for asthma is often completely normal. Occasionally, wheezing is present. In an asthma exacerbation, the respiratory rate increases, the heart rate increases, and the work of respiration increases. Individuals often require accessory muscles to breathe, and breath sounds can be diminished.

It is important to note that the blood oxygen level typically remains fairly normal even in the midst of a significant asthma exacerbation. Low blood oxygen level is therefore concerning for impending respiratory failure.

Differentiate asthma from COPD

  • Asthma is characterized by reversible airway narrowing, whereas COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) typically has fixed airway narrowing.
  • Some symptoms of COPD are similar to asthma, including wheezing, shortness of breath, and cough.
  • The cough in COPD can be more productive of mucus than asthma, and patients with severe COPD may need oxygen supplementation.
  • COPD is very often a result of tobacco smoke exposure, either direct or secondhand, although severe asthma can evolve to COPD over time in the absence of smoke exposure.
  • Allopathic drugs used to treat COPD include inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroid/bronchodilator combinations, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, and oral steroids.

There is a newly described syndrome called asthma/COPD overlap syndrome that displays characteristics of both asthma and COPD. This is an area of allopathic drugs that needs further study; while in Homeopathy there are many different medicine for this new syndrome.

Diagnose asthma

The diagnosis of asthma begins with a detailed history and physical examination. A typical history is an individual with a family history of allergic conditions or a personal history of allergic rhinitis who experiences coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, especially with exercise, viral infections, or during the night. In addition to a typical history, improvement with a trial of appropriate medications is very suggestive of asthma.

In addition to the history and exam, the following are diagnostic procedures that can be used to help with the diagnosis of asthma:

  • Lung function testing with spirometry: This test measures lung function as the patient breathes into a tube. If lung function improves significantly following the administration of a bronchodilator, such as albuterol, this essentially confirms the diagnosis of asthma. It is important to note, however, that normal lung function testing does not rule out the possibility of asthma.
  • Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO): This can be performed by a quick and relatively simple breathing maneuver, similar to spirometry. Elevated levels of exhaled nitric oxide are suggestive of T2 inflammation seen in some types of asthma.
  • Skin testing for common aeroallergens: The presence of sensitivities to environmental allergies increases the likelihood of asthma. Of note, skin testing is more accurate than blood work (in vitro testing) for environmental allergies. Testing for food allergies is not indicated in the diagnosis of asthma.
  • Blood tests for the allergic antibody (IgE) and eosinophils to establish the presence of T2 high asthma.
  • Other potential but less commonly used tests include provocation testing such as a methacholine challenge, which tests for airway hyperresponsiveness. Hyperresponsiveness is the tendency of the breathing tubes to constrict or narrow in response to irritants. A negative methacholine challenge makes asthma unlikely. Measure sputum eosinophils, another marker for “allergic” inflammation seen in asthma. Chest X-rays or CT scans may show hyperinflation, but are often normal in asthma.

Tests to rule out other conditions, such as cardiac testing, may also be indicated in certain cases.

Allopathic treatment options

The allopathic treatment goals for asthma are to:

  • adequately control symptoms,
  • minimize the risk of future exacerbations,
  • maintain normal lung function,
  • maintain normal activity levels, and
  • take the least amount of medication possible with the least amount of potential side effects.

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are considered the most effective anti-inflammatory agents available for the chronic treatment of asthma in allopathy, and are the first-line therapy per most asthma guidelines. It is recognized that ICS are effective in decreasing the risk of asthma exacerbations. Furthermore, the combination of a long-acting bronchodilator (LABA) and an ICS has a significant additional beneficial effect on improving asthma control. Short-acting rescue inhalers are the standard of care for breakthrough symptoms.

The most commonly used asthma drugs include the following:

  • Short-acting bronchodilators (albuterol) provide quick relief for symptoms occurring despite controller medications. These may also be used alone in patients with occasional symptoms or patients experiencing symptoms with exercise only. Inhaled steroids (budesonide, fluticasone, beclomethasone, mometasone, flunisolide) are first-line anti-inflammatory therapies.
  • Long-acting bronchodilators {LABA} (salmeterol, formoterol, vilanterol) can be added to ICS as additive therapy. LABAs should never be used alone for the treatment of asthma.
  • ICS/LABA combination agents combine corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators. Fluticasone/salmeterol, budesonide/formoterol, fluticasone/vilanterol, mometasone/formoterol.
  • Leukotriene modifiers (montelukast, zafirlukast, zileuton) can also serve as anti-inflammatory agents.
  • Anticholinergic agents or antimuscarinic agents (ipratropium, tiotropium, umeclidinium) can help decrease sputum production.
  • There is one triple combination agent of an inhaled corticosteroid, long-acting bronchodilator, and antimuscarinic agent: fluticasone/vilanterol/umeclidinium that is most often used for asthma/COPD overlap.
  • Anti-IgE treatment (omalizumab) can be used in allergic asthma.
  • Anti-IL5 treatment (mepolizumab, reslizumab, and benralizumab) can be used in eosinophilic asthma.
  • Tezepelumab is a biologic (herbal) that treats severe asthma, like allergic asthma or eosinophilic asthma.
  • Anti IL-4 receptor antagonist (dupilumab, Dupixent) is approved for moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. It is also approved for atopic dermatitis and nasal polyposis.
  • Chromones, nedocromil stabilize mast cells (allergic cells) but are rarely used in clinical practice.
  • Theophylline also helps with bronchodilation (opening the airways) but is rarely used in clinical practice due to an unfavorable side-effect profile.
  • Systemic steroids (prednisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone are potent anti-inflammatory drugs that are routinely used to treat asthma exacerbations but pose numerous unwanted side effects if used repeatedly or chronically.
  • Numerous additional monoclonal antibodies are also currently being studied and will likely be available within the next couple of years.
  • Immunotherapy or allergy shots have been shown to decrease medication reliance in allergic asthma.
  • There are no allopathic drug that have proven complete treatment, all above explained drugs are gives just some benefit/relief for asthma, and the patient have to take these drugs all his remains life.

There is often concern about the potential long-term side effects of inhaled corticosteroids. Numerous studies have repeatedly shown that long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids has clinically significant side effects, including changes in bone health, over all growth, weight etc.

However, the goal always remains to treat all individuals with the least amount of medication. Patients with asthma should be routinely reassessed for any appropriate changes to their medical regimen.

Asthma medications can be administered via inhalers either with or without a spacer or nebulized solution. It is important to note that if an individual has proper technique with an inhaler, the amount of medication deposited in the lungs is no different than that when using a nebulized solution. When prescribing asthma drugs, it is essential to provide the appropriate teaching on proper delivery technique.

Vaccinations such as the annual influenza vaccination and pneumonia vaccination are also indicated.

Although the vast majority of individuals with asthma are treated as outpatients, treatment of severe exacerbations can require management in the emergency department or hospital. These individuals typically require the use of supplemental oxygen, early administration of systemic steroids, and frequent or even continuous administration of bronchodilators via a nebulized solution. Individuals at high risk for poor asthma outcomes are referred to a specialist – pulmonologist or allergist. The following factors should prompt consideration or referral:

  • History of ICU admission or multiple hospitalizations for asthma
  • History of multiple visits to the emergency department for asthma
  • History of frequent or daily use of systemic steroids for asthma
  • Ongoing symptoms despite the use of appropriate medications
  • Significant allergies contributing to poorly controlled asthma

Case:

Patient age 38, complaining about asthma and a moderate tendency for bronchitis, The whole situation starts with paroxysmal sneezing.

At the end of the fifth sneezing there is a wheezing.  It happens clearly only in the night, attack comes with lachrymation and palpitations.

In 2017 there was a severe asthma attack and Patient had to go to the ER. She was given cortisone and was told that she had allergic rhinitis.

During the asthmatic attack she feels suffocating and hypoxic.

The feeling she has after every asthma attack is described as an “angry sorrow”, During the fits she feels pressure in her sinuses, and there is thin watery and clear mucus running from her nose.

After every attack she sleeps. She gets better when lying in fetal position, on left side, under heavy blankets, regardless if the room is warm.

Desire for open air, likes arguments.

Occasionally she uses an Albuterol puffer (aerolin) for managing the mild asthma attacks and naphazoline nitrate (Septobore) for the lachrymation.

The three remedies I took into consideration were

1- Arsenicum Album (Arsenicum Album is a remedy that fits well to chilly patients, aggravation during the night, fastidiousness/anxiety).

2- Nux Vomica (irritability and anger of the patient, arguments, worse when becoming cold” and “better when lying).

3- Pulsatilla (irritability, attacks in the evening and in the night,  Asthma with hysterical attacks, desire for open air).

I prescribed medicine for thirty days.

After thirty days patient came back with improved over all health (physical as well as mental).

Asthma attacks were completely gone. The patient does not refer at all to asthma attacks, dramatic improvement pertain to her allergy (copious catarrh and lachrymation)  It is as if she has forgotten about that.

Patient cured and discharged.
