Well, Anaplylactic Shock is when your airway swells shut as an allergic reaction to something (for example, if I am injected with ionized contrast dye like a CAT scan or an IVP, my throat will swell shut and I can't breathe).  Some people have this reaction to bee stings.  People with this type of severe allergy usually carry on them something called an Epi-Pen.\n\n(I also wear a Medic Alert bracelet so if I'm knocked out, paramedics will know NO CAT-scans)

Common asthma symptoms include: \nCoughing. Coughing from asthma is often worse at night or early in the morning, making it hard to sleep. \nWheezing. Wheezing is a whistling or squeaky sound when you breathe. \nChest tightness. This can feel like something is squeezing or sitting on your chest. \nShortness of breath. Some people say they can't catch their breath, or they feel breathless or out of breath. You may feel like you can't get enough air in or out of your lungs. \nFaster breathing or noisy breathing. \nThe only way to know for sure would be to see your doctor.

Asthma is very widespread. It is very treatable and containable. My wife and daughter have it, but you'd never know it. Their asthma is quite under control without using steriods. \n\nDeath, is a highly unlikely outcome of asthma unless you were in a fire and inhaled smoke, or stranded in Antartica and the cold bothered your lungs, but you'd probably die from something else first.\n\nSometimes asthma is "grown into" and sometimes it is "grown out of" so it might not be a life long disease. \n\nYou should talk to your doctor and get a recommendation to a specialist if your doctor is not familiar with asthma.

The worst thing to hear in a patient with asthma is nothing at all...especially if their lips, tongue and earlobes are blue.\n\nNext to that I would have to say high pitched wheezing upon exhalation.\n\nBut in general...any abnormal breathing is not a good thing.

It's possible to have a residual asthma-type reaction after a cold because your bronchial tubes are still irritated, without it being asthma. But check with a doctor, specifically an allergist, you could have undiagnosed asthma that only is noticeable when you've had a cold.

First of all, learn what the cause of the asthma is.  Asthma can be caused by dust, pet dander, pollen, physical activity and sometimes even certain emotions/conditions, like anger or stress, or lung illnesses.  When the cause of your asthma has been determined, or if it has, try to avoid whatever the cause of your asthma is.\nKeep an inhaler.  Some medicines can help with your asthma, like Singulair or Advair.\nIf I were you, I'd talk to my doctor for more info or run on online search over asthma.

In recent years, rapid sequence intubation (ie, rapid sequence induction [RSI]) has become the technique of choice for emergent airway management and is a skill that all emergency physicians must master. Indications for intubation are discussed in other articles but include respiratory failure, altered mental status, cardiopulmonary arrest, and significant trauma.

Like it sounds, exercise-induced asthma is asthma that is triggered by vigorous or prolonged exercise or physical exertion.

What is the cause of wheezing? Cold, allergies asthma? If it is just a cold it will clear. If it is allergies or asthma that is much more serious and requires a doctor to make recommendations. Get tested to find out what the triggers are. Then that will dictate what the proper treatment will be. Short term relief can be obtained from Melaleuca arternafolia oil properly placed, til proper meds can take effect. My severely asthmatic/ allergic friend is never without the oil as an emergency stop gap.

Not really sure what you have, but I will say that "coughing" is the most common and probably least known symptom of "asthma".I discovered this when my son was 8 and playing soccer. He would have to pull off to the side and cough and cough, sometimes until he threw up...we pulled him out of soccer. The specialist told me that coughing and especially when you have to forcible exhale to get the air out of your lungs is a big sign of asthma. I never heard my son "wheeze" in all the years he had asthma....just cough and do that forcible exhaling thing. Go check it out, may not be serious, may only be seasonal or temporary, but do check it out. By the way my son took allergy  shots, weekly for a couple of years, is now 21 and hasn't had asthma in years. Good luck to you and may God bless you.

NO its not a disease thus its not contages\nWhat do each of these individuals have in common: First, aneighteen-year-old suddenly develops wheezing and shortness of breath whenvisiting his grandmother who happens to have a cat. Second, a thirty year oldwoman has colds that "always go into her chest," causing coughing anddifficulty breathing. Lastly, a sixty- year-old man develops shortness of breathwith only slight exertion even though he has never smoked. The answer is thatthey all may have asthma.\nThese are some of the many faces of asthma. Most researchers believe that thedifferent patterns of asthma are all related to one condition. Other researchersfeel that separate lung conditions exist. There is currently no cure for asthmaand no single exact cause has been identified. Therefore, understanding thechanges that occur in asthma, how it makes you feel, and how it can behave overtime is vital. This knowledge empowers you to take an active role in your ownhealth care.

I don't think it asthma, I think it is a build up of co2 (carbon dioxide) the reason is, you blood is pumping faster while you exert energy, if your breathing rate is not in tune with your heart rate, then your capularies(in your lungs) will absorb the CO2 that is residual in your lungs from your last exhale, there fore building up CO2 levels in your blood. Breath deeper and slower, and decrease your heart rate to fix this. You will be in no immediate danger unless you continue to run for an extended period of time. Its a similar effect from scuba diving.

These are three different conditions and could take pages to describe. \n \nAsthma:  Is a reaction of the the small tubes in the lungs to a virus, an allergen, cold air, or various other factors.  The tubes react in three ways.  One they narrow and therefore produce a wheezing sound when breathing out, two they produce mucus thus clogging the tubes even more then three they swell.  The best way to prevent asthma is keep the tubes in good shape. (e.g.. use a preventative)Asthma is treatable but if acute can make it difficult to talk so it is a good idea to not leave it too long before seeking help.  (A good friend died on his neighbours front step unable to call out)\n\nEmphysema:  Is a deterioration of the the air sacs at the end of the tubes described above.  Commonly caused by smoking for years (both by direct smoking or second hand smoking).  The air sacs loose there elasticity and do not work as well as they used to therefore limiting the persons ability to exchange oxygen by limiting the amount of air breathed in.  Emphysema is not reversable.\n\nLung cancer:  A growth of cancerous cells within the lungs that destroys good lung tissue and eventually will take over if not treated.\n\nAll these conditions have the ability to severely limited your life and have the capacity to kill you.  The tubes of a person who has died of an asthma attack when dissected are like solid branches of a tree made of mucus, therefore not letting any air in or out.
