What are the three typical symptoms of asthma?

The majority of asthma patients have typical recurrent wheezing, accompanied by extensive and high-profile wheezing. The symptoms often appear in a few minutes, lasting for a few minutes or days, and then self remission or remission after drug treatment. Some patients can relapse after a few hours of remission, and occasionally severe acute attack patients die. But severe episodes can also be fatal. Asthma attack has obvious seasonality, high incidence in spring and autumn, attack or aggravation at night or early in the morning.

Cough is often the most important experience of patients with asthma, and it is also one of the reasons for seeing a doctor. Cough itself is a defense mechanism, which is beneficial for the body to clear airway foreign bodies and secretions. Asthma cough is irritating dry cough or cough with white foam sputum. Asthma is the first cause of cough in children, the second in adults and the third in the elderly.

Patients often feel pressure, asphyxia, dyspnea. When asthma attacks, patients often feel that the inhaled air is sufficient, that is, they can't breathe out, so they pout involuntarily, showing "fish mouth like breathing". Chest tightness can occur at the same time as wheezing, or it can exist alone.
