Asthme et orage: quand, pourquoi, comment, signes et traitement

Thunderstorms can trigger an asthma attack, even in people who don't know they have asthma. Pollen is responsible. In spring and autumn, pollen is released into the atmosphere in large quantities. These pollens are known to cause allergic reactions. These reactions are aggravated by pollution. Asthma is one of these. In asthma, pollen grains irritate the bronchi, causing them to suddenly shrink. This shrinkage then leads to breathing difficulties, especially expiratory breathing. Coughing, more often at night, is an asthma equivalent. There are pollen calendars and alerts if the pollen count is high. Before or during a thunderstorm, pollen grains can be fragmented. The residual grains are smaller and can penetrate deeper into the bronchi. These conditions can indicate asthma. Do not go outside before or during a thunderstorm if you know you have asthma or a respiratory illness. Medications here are mainly antihistamines or salbutamol (Ventolin). #medicine #asthma #thunderstorms 00:00 introduction 00:55 pollens and the bronchi 03:20 thunderstorm asthma 04:42 in practice, treatments
