It does affect those of all ages and mostly begins in childhood. Some possible factors linked to Asthma are allergies, environmental pollution and tobacco smoke. Asthma, in spite of all the research, the exact cause s may still be unknown.
What is a definite is that asthma is characterized by a set of symptoms. Do you have pain in your arm, even when you don't go to the gym? Does your elbow hurt even if you don't play tennis? Even when you rest do these pains stay with you?
This condition is common in people who play racquet sports and you may even be living a lifestyle that worsens this condition, even if you don't play these sports. Many people think that tennis elbow is just for those who play tennis. Not so. Since more people are doing desk jobs, especially computer work, or any task that requires repetitive strain; tiny tears in your tendon can be created, causing pain, are more common than you might think.
Did you know that neck pain often comes from tension in the upper shoulders? Unlike our cars, our bodies are an interconnected network of physiological processes. One area does effect another. When you have tension in your upper back, it can sometimes cut off necessary blood and nerve supply to your head and neck. And, as we know, a steady, free-flowing supply of oxygen, carried by our blood supply is necessary for clear thinking.
