Asthma Minnesota Attorney
Asthma is a chronic disorder of the airways that affects over 225,000 people in Minnesota and more than 17 million in the United States. Asthma disability is one of the most common chronic diseases. Asthma disability benefits are available to people who meet social security’s asthma listing impairment (3.03). You can also qualify for disability benefits if your asthma causes functional limitations or when combined with other medical conditions prevents you from being able to work.
Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. When you have asthma disability, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to allergens or things you find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air. This can cause wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and trouble breathing, especially early in the morning or at night.
When your asthma symptoms become worse than usual, it’s called an asthma attack. In a severe asthma attack, the airways can close so much that your vital organs do not get enough oxygen. People can die from severe asthma attacks.
Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms.
