I have Bronchial Asthma, my son’s Asthmatic, and my Mom passed away last September because of Asthma. It’s a family curse that runs in our blood.

The tendency for our airways to be hypersensitive is inborn. We inherit this through our genes. It is known that asthma tends to run in families that are prone to allergy. This means that some family members will be affected by asthma, while others may suffer from other allergies such as hay fever, perennial rhinitis, and eczema. So we actually inherit the tendency to react to allergens rather than a specific disease.

I was breastfeeding my baby for six months. And it is not true that I passed asthma to him through breastfeeding. A mother with asthma may pass on a tendency to allergies, rather than asthma itself, to her children. But if a woman smokes on her pregnancy, it is more likely for the baby to develop asthma. Cigarette Smoking is dangerous not only to your health, but also to the people around you. Children of smoking parents suffer the effects of passive smoking. They breathe in the smoke from smouldering cigarettes and the smoke that is puffed out by their parents.

There are drug treatments and exercises that will help on taking control of your asthma.
There is no known cure for asthma yet. But knowing your allergies and understanding them can help manage asthma. You cannot change the world for you, but you can try to avoid what could possibly trigger your asthma and that will reduce and minimize asthma attacks.

Most common triggers of asthma attacks are; house dust mites, pollen sensitivity, moulds, animals and pets, food allergies, infections, air pollutants, smoking, and a lot of other triggers.
