LifeLine hopes to raise awareness on a parasitic disease affecting much of the tropics and sub tropics – malaria.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL, March 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ — Estimated to cause three hundred to five hundred clinical cases and nearly one million deaths a year, malaria is a major health problem in much of the Tropics and Sub-Tropics, particularly in South Africa, South East Asia and South America. Malaria is an infectious blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes and can also be transmitted via blood transfusions and congenitally from a mother to her unborn child. Young children contribute to a bulk of malaria deaths worldwide as they have not yet developed protective immunity against most severe forms of the disease. Symptoms which often appear 10 to 14 days after infection include fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting and other flu-like symptoms. the first symptoms may be mild and difficult to recognize as malaria. Left untreated, malaria can progress to severe illness often leading to death.

The Public Television series, LifeLine, seeks to raise awareness on malaria disease. Though it causes nearly one million deaths a year, Malaria is preventable and treatable. no vaccine is available, but personal protection against mosquito bites is the first line of defense in malaria prevention. Effective forms of prevention include insecticide-treated mosquito nets and indoor spraying with Residual Insecticides. In addition, there are medications available for individuals planning to travel to regions prone to malaria. Treatment of malaria depends on many factors including disease severity, the species of malaria parasite causing the infection and the part of the world in which the infection was acquired. These factors help determine if the organism is resistant to certain antimalarial drugs. Additional factors such as age, weight, and pregnancy status may limit the available options for malaria treatment. LifeLine hopes to bring awareness to this disease and asks individuals to contact organizations,such as the World Health Organization (WHO) if you are planning international travel to learn about the specific risks in that geographic area.

Asthma is very common, so common that there is probably somebody that you know that suffers from it.  if you have no idea what asthma is fully you do however know what the symptoms are.

Asthma is a condition in the respiratory system that cause the smaller airways to tighten, this is what makes an asthma suffer have a hard time breathing.  the time that an asthma attack can last is dependent on the seriousness of the condition and also how tight the airways happen to be. Albuterol for Nebulizer

It is a disease that can occur in people of all ages although it is more common to first appear in children. Some lucky asthma suffers happen to outgrow this conditionAlso there are some asthma suffers who will live with the condition for the rest of their lives.

People who have no other asthma suffers in their family can acquire asthma.  It is a misunderstanding about asthma, that it is passed down from generation to generation.  Alvesco Inhaler

Asthma symptoms usually are cough, wheezing, tightness in the chest, breath shortness, and a hard time to breathe.  Symptoms do vary form person to person.

An asthma attack has levels of mild, moderate, and severe.

For somebody that had mild asthma they have attacks when they have an upper respiratory infection.  Most other times they are completely fine and have no asthma symptoms at all.

Some moderate asthma sufferers can have some symptoms from time to time.  It could be worse in the early morning or late in the night, when they have a cold, or have a lot of stress in their lives.

For asthma suffers with severe asthma, they have symptoms just about every day.  at times they could fond it difficult to even talk to people or to be involved in any physical activity.  also they are in the hospital a lot due to the severity of their asthma. Albuterol Inhalers

Tell your doctor about your symptoms. there are some really good anti-anxiety and panic disorder medicines on the market now that could really help you.

ask your doctor if you can do lots of physical stress.
go walking or jogging more than you even think is possible
completely wear yourself out then keep walking or jogging past the point you cant take any more.
it will feel like hell but so what? you already feel like hell.
it will help
its okay to do that at your age. anything to physically wear yourself out
(which not many people normally get to do in modern life)
even wringing out a wet towel can help you feel tired before you try to sleep
you need some physical stress to balance off all the mental stress you're going through.

you're awake now which is good. try not to be awake all night often if you can help it.
not having sleep that matches when most people wake/sleep can be an unexpected extra source of nerve type stress

it may seem strange but bringing yourself to great physical exhaustion a few times over a few days should seriously reduce your symptoms. Doctors may forget to tell you because it doesn't come in a bottle and threes not much money to be made by telling you to try this.

If you try this a lot and it doesn't help after a while, please try some of the stuff the doctor wants to give you. You shouldn't have to feel that way all the time, every day. You can always tell your doctor later you want to try without it again.
