VII. Learning Content

A. Introduction

Nowadays, there are many illness and diseases that occurs globally, and one of these is Asthma
and Pulmonary Tuberculosis, these two are very prevalent among children, adult and the elderly.
In the Philippines, there are an estimated 10.7 Million who have Asthma and 23,000 are known to
have Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

B. Body

Definition: Asthma is a disease in which the airways into your lungs become narrow and produce
mucus. When this happens, it is hard to breathe. Some things that can trigger an asthma attack
include allergies, cold viruses, medicines, dusts, chemicals, exercise or emotions.

Risk Factors:

Having a blood relative (such as a parent or sibling) with asthma

Having another allergic condition, such as atopic dermatitis or allergic rhinitis (hay fever)

Being overweight

Being a smoker

Exposure to secondhand smoke

Having a mother who smoked while pregnant

Exposure to exhaust fumes or other types of pollution

Exposure to occupational triggers, such as chemicals used in farming, hairdressing and

manufacturing

Mode of Transmission:

The exact cause of asthma is unknown. It is transmitted through genes; asthma is an

inherited condition. But it may be more accurate to say the risk for developing asthma is
genetic and that the symptoms of the disease are triggered by environmental factors.

Signs and Symptoms:

Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or very rapid breathing

Severe wheezing when breathing both in and out

Coughing that won't stop

Chest pain or pressure

Tightened neck and chest muscles, called retractions

Difficulty talking and performing normal daily activities

Feelings of anxiety or panic

Pale, sweaty face

Blue lips or fingernails

Worsening symptoms despite use of your medications

Dos & Donts during an Asthma Attack & its Prevention

Asthma treatment can vary from anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator asthma inhalers to
oral medications to asthma drugs delivered in an asthma nebulizer or breathing machine.

Do not hyperventilate.

Avoid Trigerrers:

Tobacco Smoke
Tobacco smoke is unhealthy for everyone, especially people with asthma. If you have
asthma and you smoke, quit smoking.
Secondhand smoke is smoke created by a smoker and breathed in by a second person.
Secondhand smoke can trigger an asthma attack. If you have asthma, people should never
smoke near you, in your home, in your car, or wherever you may spend a lot of time.

Dust Mites
Dust mites are tiny bugs that are in almost every home. If you have asthma, dust mites
can trigger an asthma attack. To prevent attacks, use mattress covers and pillowcase
covers to make a barrier between dust mites and yourself. Dont use down-filled pillows,

quilts, or comforters. Remove stuffed animals and clutter from your bedroom. Wash your
bedding on the hottest water setting.
Outdoor Air Pollution

Outdoor air pollution can trigger an asthma attack. This pollution can come from
factories, cars, and other sources. Pay attention to air quality forecasts on radio,
television, and the Internet and check your newspaper to plan your activities for when air
pollution levels will be low.
Cockroach Allergen
Cockroaches and their droppings can trigger an asthma attack. Get rid of cockroaches in
your home by removing as many water and food sources as you can. Cockroaches are
often found where food is eaten and crumbs are left behind. At least every 2 to 3 days,
vacuum or sweep areas that might attract cockroaches. Use roach traps or gels to cut
down on the number of cockroaches in your home.

Pets
Furry pets can trigger an asthma attack. If you think a furry pet may be causing attacks,
you may want to find the pet another home. If you cant or dont want to find a new home
for the pet, keep it out of the person with asthmas bedroom.
Bathe pets every week and keep them outside as much as you can. People with asthma
are not allergic to their pets fur, so trimming the pets fur will not help your asthma. If
you have a furry pet, vacuum often. If your floors have a hard surface, such as wood or
tile, damp mop them every week.

Mold
Breathing in mold can trigger an asthma attack. Get rid of mold in your home to help
control your attacks. Humidity, the amount of moisture in the air, can make mold grow.
An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the humidity level low. Get a small
tool called a hygrometer to check humidity levels and keep them as low as you canno
higher than 50%. Humidity levels change over the course of a day, so check the humidity
levels more than once a day. Fix water leaks, which let mold grow behind walls and
under floors.

Smoke From Burning Wood or Grass

Smoke from burning wood or other plants is made up of a mix of harmful gases and
small particles. Breathing in too much of this smoke can cause an asthma attack. If you
can, avoid burning wood in your home. If a wildfire is causing poor air quality in your
area pay attention to air quality forecasts on radio, television, and the Internet and check
your newspaper to plan your activities for when air pollution levels will be low.

Other Triggers

Infections linked to influenza (flu), colds, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can
trigger an asthma attack. Sinus infections, allergies, breathing in some chemicals, and
acid reflux can also trigger attacks.
Physical exercise; some medicines; bad weather, such as thunderstorms or high humidity;
breathing in cold, dry air; and some foods, food additives, and fragrances can also trigger
an asthma attack.
Strong emotions can lead to very fast breathing, called hyperventilation, that can also
cause an asthma attack.

C. Summary

Natural family planning is a form of control that determines when a is most fertile each month.
On the days when a woman is most likely to get pregnant, is avoided. There are five
natural family planning methods: Basal body method cervical method Symptothermal method
Calendar method Locational these methods are most effective when used together. Even when
done correctly, natural family planning is not as reliable as other methods ...
D. Conclusion

Through our discussion the participants of Barangay Mangingisda, should be knowledgeable

about the natural and artificial family planning.
