I have had asthma all my life and it has gotten worse over the years. The last time I went to a doctor for an asthma attack was when I was eight. I am now twelve and when I even lay in bed I always have to take in really deep breaths. It has gotten to a point where I have had asthma attacks just from laying on my bed watching CZcams. I hope everyone reading this will have a greater appreciation for being able to breath with no problems, because it's awful having to get used to not being able to breath
:0 I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS!!!! Wth
I have asthma too, it sucks
+Boris van Ojen (Aglyros) I am going to an asthma specialist just as I am typing
+Boris van Ojen (Aglyros) my asthma is so bad I have been coughing for over 2 months nonstop
Hmm I didn't know it got that bad..over the years mine has gotten a lot better but for you I wish you the best of luck with it having asthma really sucks.
Thank you so much for this! I have a chemistry project on a disease/medicine, and I chose asthma as my focus disease. This really helped me in understanding the cell-level mechanics of asthma 🙏
You have such a soothing voice, I could listen to you talk all day long.

nice and easy 1,, thank you ,we want more animation like this..:)
Thank you! These videos are helping so much with NP school.
I have a question for you. If asthma, true asthma is defined as a disease process of the lower airway, what is it then when its the MAIN airway that is the problem? Somewhere below my vocal cords and above the bronchial bifurcation is where my problem begins. It seems to spread from there. As long as I can get air through to my lungs my sats stay up, until of course I physiologically peter out, then I crash going into respiratory failure and have in fact arrested. I've been dealing with all this for 16 yrs (since Feb 2000) I've been hospitalized well over 30 times, have been intubated MULTIPLE times (I've actually lost count now) and have almost died 3 times. One in particular. I'm on O2 around the clock (6L at rest & 8-10L on exertion) I technically have NO diagnosis and they can't figure out why I need the oxygen, let alone so much. And to say that they've tried to figure it out, well, that would a gross misrepresentation. I think they want to know whats going on worse they I do! I'm to the point that I really don't care what it is anymore, because I'm not sure that it matters. I mean, if you can't fix it or make it better, than why does it matter what its called. I really just want to be treated palliatively and kept comfortable and have as high a quality of life as can be had. I still have a LOT I;d like to do before I leave, and I don't plan on going ANYWHERE for quite some time. There have been SO MANY doctors that have tried to figure it out. I keep telling them that as long as I can get any air into my lungs the gas exchange will happen, but once that main airway shuts down, it won't matter anymore how well my gas exchange works! Just so you know, COPD has been ruled out, as has vocal chord dysfunction (on multiple occasions) as well as many other things. The only thing that is known for sure is that all though my PFT's come back pretty normal, there is clearly a reactive spasm to air born particulates that presents like asthma, I'm especially sensitive to those particulates if I'm anywhere below my baseline. And all though it may take 3-5 times longer to respond to the typical emergent asthma treatment protocol, and even though you MAY (uhm, probably) will have to intubate me, and after treatment has begun, I will get a lot worse, almost a guarantee, but IF YOU WILL CONTINUE with the basic emergent asthma protocol treatment, I WILL eventually respond! I just got out of the hospital last week. Again. I've NEVER decompensated so far so fast as did the day it hit. And I again ended up in respiratory failure and intubated, when they first tried to titrate me down to breathing on my own to prepare me for extubating, my body was NOT happy about it and responded as such. So, I stayed right where I was. I was in the MICU for 5 days before being transferred to the regular floor where I had a flair up the next day. Things weren't handled well, and as a result I was left without treatment. No one really did anything wrong, I just kinda fell through policy loopholes, which we're working correcting. But all though at 6L of O2 of the whole time of the flair up my sats stayed up above 93% (my body compensates REALLY well, or at least it tries to) I was having so much trouble breathing and oxygenating my body that my wonderful normal BP of 90/60 skyrocketed to 206/77! Frankly, I feel very fortunate not to have had a stroke. They of course administered the appropriate medication and brought it back down, but even that wouldn't have happened had I not gone unresponsive and they not called the rapid response team.
Apologies for the length. Please understand, I'm not asking for even a possible diagnosis from you. I'm just asking that if true asthma involves our lower airways as you describe, what is it when it all begins above the lungs in the main airway? I'm just curious. I expect no miracles. Well, not from man anyway . . . ;-) I'd REALLY appreciate some info if you could Oh, by the way, I suppose I should mention that before getting so sick, I to worked in healthcare. So I actually do have some medical education. All that means is that I usually understand things far better than the average lay person does. I was certainly NOT a doctor! I only mention it so that what ever you do come back with, it won't require a lot of explanation. I'll understand what you're saying. Thank you so kindly for your time!
Perfect. .
Wonderful explanation! ☺👌
No, no! This is an incomplete story!!!!!
No, read my comment and get cured just like me!
Question: anybody knows the radiological differences between "Fixed Pulmonary Infiltrates vs Non-Fixed" ?
Hi Med Cram... Great explanation... Wats tool u used for writing?
+Surinder Shanker Anand Artist hi...thx fr reply..:) can you Wch software is being used to draw?
thank youuuu Sir 😀
Hi
Love it
Is it difficulties breathing in or out? I have weezing only breathing in. And breathing through my nose is easier than breathing through my mouth.
good
Nice
Is "exercise-induced asthma" different?
awesome. for med students
Perfect for medical students. You get just as stupid as this doctor who doesn't understand that asthma can be 100% neurological!
Yeah. So you can quack the rest of your life and poison and lie to everyone. I cured my asthma. Can you medical quacks get that result?
what constitutes for uncontrollable asthma, say a individual only has symptoms at night. Would this be a indicator or merely specific reaction.
Dr. Seheult, B2 receptors in bronchioles smooth muscles are not innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, these receptors are stimulated by circulating NEPI, unlike the muscarinic receptors which are indeed innervated by the parasympathetic branch.
Thanks for the comment. They are indirectly innervated in terms of the adrenal gland producing systemic epinephrine which would excite them. The adrenal gland is of course directly innervated by the sympathetic nervous system.
if smooth muscles are constricting, shouldn't they be opening up the lumen more? I thought the muscles would be relaxing therefore taking up more room from the lumen --> hindering airflow
OK thanks
From a Nursing student in a Pathophysiology class currently, thank you!
This was broken down into a very easy to understand way.
GJ!
There is no sympathetic innervation per se of airway smooth muscle as your diagram suggests, interestingly though beta2 receptors are conserved!
Cough Go tablets are ayurvedic formulation containing ingredients like Sonth (Zingiber officinale), Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Pippali (Piper longum), Kali mirch (Piper nigrum), etc. These tablets are very effective in bronchitis, cough, cold, nasal problems, and other respiratory problems.
In a brotherly sort of way....
Cool
A whole foods plant based diet . Organic has helped my asthma tremendously. Also check I to eating foods high in magnisiium and potassium and vit c. This is the only thing that has ever helped my asthma and I've had my fair share of prednisone and hospital stays.

@@swingwizard can't find your comment
I have made a good faith effort to regularly sanitize my control & asthma inhalers in order to keep myself from contracting CoVid-19. However, I have heard that some sanitizers are both more effective as an antiseptic as well as capable of triggering an acute attack. I am a 37 year old male in New England, MA, USA. Is there anyone in the area who wishes to discuss these practical matters with me?
My auntie has that
anybody comment on the recent study of vitamin C helping reduce the symptoms of asthma?
Read my comment and get cured just like me!
I love you
Wtf
Put down your testosterone pipe. I was just saying thank you for a great video.
I can't find a purpose/role for bronchial smooth muscle. Is there no purpose, only potential harm?

I have asthma caused by foreign airborne asbestos particles that we're introduced into my lungs while I worked in construction at my old job.
That's not asthma. That's asbestosis.
LOVE YOU ALL!! FINALLY I UNDERSTAND!! HAHAA
No, this story is incomplete! I am white, but like you I have blood type O. Gluten and milk are very bad for us. What you need to understand is that there can be an inflammation WITHOUT the cause of inflammation. Aluminium sets your body in the inflammation mode and STAYS THERE. Try experimenting with DPP4 and CHOLINE and be just as successful like me...
no, you understand nothing! Read my comment and get cured just like me!
based upon hygiene theory we still believe that diseases which are immune mediated like asthma is more common in developed world when compared to developing world where people are dying more of infectious diseases..
i have ahtsma had an ahtsma attack couple days ago
Great explanation, but it's hard to see your writing on a cell phone.
Thank you. You can view our videos at MedCram.com which has a mobile responsive video player.
For anyone who has asthma I feel bad for I used to have it but it just went away as quickly as it came..which to this day I don't understand..
+Skylynxify Reborn I have no idea maybe but I had it for years. It's weird.
I have asthma but it doesn't change I have it mild

So could the reason why some people have asthma attacks from cotton masks be from the cotton?
The cloth masks trigger my asthma every time.
there are virtually no sympathetic nerves going to the airways. The beta receptors are stimulated by circulating adrenaline
I have asthma it's not fun taken a bunch of meds or going to the hospital a lot I hope they find a cure soon😊
They don't want to find the cure. They want to sell you inhalers all your life. I am 60 years old and I got cured and the lung specialist gave asthma back to me by injecting me with aluminium .Tip 1: Take Boswellia read the research. 2. CHOLINE works fantastically! 3. DPP4. Read the research! Let me know. I wish you all the best.
Read my comment! I tis a true story! Rife/Clark say that the ASCARIS parasite is the cause and you can kill it with a zapper at 408 kHz. I did it for two weeks fanatically and I am cured from severe asthma!
I use to get asthma bad but around 16 I started to outgrow it and now im 21 I haven't used my inhaler in about 4 years
i had an ahtsma attack couple days ago
I subscribed you :D, I had asthma for 10 years finally got rid of it
I'm really concerned because I had it when I was a baby and I outgrew it when I was in 1st grade and I haven't taken anything for it since then. Is it ever going to effect me? I have horrible anxiety as well
Austyn Meyer if you had it when you were young it may disappear easily when you grow up, its a slowly process, if its too serious you have to take inhaler medication,do not get used to it, if its not serious then you have to relax and take deep breath's and reduce using the medicine, what I know is the more you reduce the medicine the better you will be treated, that's all I know am sorry if I did not answer your exact question :D
+abadiqaisy123 I feel you. i still have astma and i had it in 9 years and i will first get rid of it when im 25 years old. im 12 right now
Coolkarl 55 as i had asthma for a long time and got rid of it at the age of 14. If your asthma is very troublesome use the medicine regularly once or twice a day. But then after 1 months like reduce the use. Use like once a week for like another month . Then another month stop using the inhaler unless u need to use it. Remember. during this periods please do not run. U must be in relaxing mode. Breathe like 5 minutes a day. Take a long breathe in then breathe out. Do it 5 minutes daily. This will reduce asthma. I wish this will help out.
abadiqaisy123
i still have asthma. i get very harsh attacks and blackout most of the time. its disgusting in school when it takes my med 10 min till it works
I Have Asthma
Do you know of what things I can't eat if I have asthma?
+Ness ネス Anything that you may be allergic to. For some people, that includes dairy products, nuts, etc.
MEDCRAMvideos Okay thank you
+Ness ネス You need to be tested for allergies, as every asthmatic is different. Some have no food allergies, some have many.
+Ness ネス do u have carpets at ur home...lolx
I have asthma and a peanut allergy and I know that you can eat anything but since I have a peanut allergy I just can't eat peanuts or peanut butter or things cooked in peanut oil
There's only one thing I can do. Kiss my life goodbye.
I have asthma it's not nice but I hope u understand that it is scary

Great lecture on Asthma, but the propaganda commercial about the Keystone pipeline is terrible, and makes people think it is a good thing. sorry not true. Please watch your commercials.
I am a 13 yr old trying to understand my condition and it's hard with all these sciency words
Yes I know right I'm 14 and I am not even sure if I have asthma, I do not wheeze, I only rub out of breath easily, do you think I have asthma???
+MilitaryGecko78 run**** :/
Like in old and ancient tooth-worm notion lasting millenia that tooth caries was due to a worm the present asthma theory about treating asthma with medication is wrong and we have the asthma-paradox that more medication causes more asthma.
In other cultures mudras such as pressing a finger against the thumb (chin mudra) are used to treat asthma by relaxing our lung airways.
Christian prayer with interlaced fingers is the ambuja mudra.
Asthma is a curse I'll carry with me till I die. But I heard once that possum meat cures asthma. But that's too gross for me to try.
Read my comment and get cured. True story!
Did it work?
antimonium tartaricum is a homeopathic remedy that I've taken with good results for acute inflammatory related asthma. Other good natural remedies exist too. Environmental conditions like mold allergens and gluten intolerance contributed to my issues. Think outside the pharmacological box for treatment.
You are on the right track, but please read my comment and get cured!
I have asthma trust me its not so bad.
+Skylynxify Reborn Oh thats Shitty Dude,Guess im really lucky Then.
How are you doing now ?
+Skylynxify Reborn same :\
+Skylynxify Reborn Great too hear it's going better !
The bottom line is there's no cure and I'm going to suffer the rest of my life :/
Me too buddy,you're not the only one...
Sadly there is no cure but there is management i have had it chronic since birth i uset to have to go to hospital atlest 4 times a year im now 19 and live and work without any issue
Check out cbd oil
@@rcon-tp4fs I have chronic asthma to had it since I was little & have allergies I itch all over my body & chest hurt & have headaches
same here
I have it I get made fun of 4 hveung ti
Asthmas a deasise!
Thank you, well organized with clear explanations.
No Isake! No! With your skin colour there is 99% chance you have blood type O and we can't eat gluten and milk. Try CHOLINE 2,5 to 3,5 grams a day. Google it and see the research. Try BOSWELLIA and see the research! Try DPP4! Get fucking cured like me. I wish you all the best!
