My Asthma Research Papers
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes a person’s air pathways to be
inflamed. It also causes a person’s air pathways to be narrower. The cause of
asthma has not been determined, but there are some risk factors that can contribute
to the reason why someone has this lung disease. The risk factors are parents who
have asthma, a tendency to develop allergies, throughout childhood getting different
respiratory infections, and exposure to air borne allergies throughout childhood. It
also has an environmental risk factor, which is smoking. The risk factors mentioned
cannot be prevented except for the environmental factor of smoking. Asthma is
something that has affected me throughout my life because at times it has limited

The particular medicines that I take for my asthma are albuterol,
asmanex, and singular. I am also given prednisone, but only when I go into an asthma
attack. Recently doctors have found research that suggest other ways to treat asthma; and
that is through use of calcilytics. Calcilytics help people with osteoporosis, but it has been
found that calcilytics also help reverse the narrowing of the airways.
Asthma disrupts the body’s ability to function by causing a person’s airways to
narrow, which leads to difficulty breathing. In essence, asthma disrupts homeostasis, an
internal balance that allows to body to function properly. The disruption of homeostasis
occurs in the respiratory system. A normal person’s air pathways are wider and not
inflamed, which makes it easier for them to breathe and live life. For asthmatics the
narrowing of their air pathway not only makes it hard to breathe, but also carry on with
their normal activities. Ultimately, a person with asthma is like a normal person with
bronchitis. Both cause a narrow airway path for breathing and constrict the air that gets in
and out. They both affect the functioning of people and cause an interruption
