記者湯朝村∕嘉義報導
嘉義市30歲林小姐連續咳嗽不止，原以為是感冒，卻時好時壞，醫師確診為嚴重氣喘所引起。經治療後已笑逐顏開，恢復以往甜美可人的笑臉。
聖馬爾定醫院呼吸治療中心主任暨胸腔內科醫師沈資益表示，慢性咳嗽可能原因包括氣喘、鼻涕倒流、胃酸逆流、慢性阻塞性肺病、肺癌，以及其他呼吸道疾病；而氣喘是相當常見的疾病，在台灣氣喘的盛行率大約10~15%，門診常有久咳不癒病人，檢查後才發現是氣喘作祟。
沈資益指出，不同於感冒，氣喘可說是支氣管的過敏病症，與氣候、氣溫、體質有關，尤其在半夜因支氣管收縮，會咳得比較厲害。建議如果夜咳持續超過2週以上，應該到醫院做進一步檢查。
沈資益提醒，每年入秋之後季節交替，天氣轉趨乾燥，有較多落葉灰塵、花粉、孢子、粉塵等，再加上早晚低溫與溫差變化，都是氣喘的誘發因子。空氣乾燥造成痰比較黏稠，不易咳出；環境汙染物刺激也會讓症狀惡化，應加以防範。
沈資益表示，氣喘雖無法完全根治，但在吸入型抗發炎藥物使用下，只要遵照醫囑用藥，搭配運動與健康飲食，遠離誘發因子，調節呼吸，一點都不會影響生活與社交；慢性咳嗽，只要做好清痰與復健，可有效緩解症狀與不適，同樣也會有彩色的人生。
