At the first place, if we are to describe under which category does asthma falls, then the answer would be it is a steroid responsive disease. Basically, this state describes the constriction of airways which is not responsive to the treatment of steroids. The major symptoms associated with the steroid resistant asthma include: severe pain in the chest, chest pressure, cough, chest tightness and more. In a sense, the symptoms are associated with any kind of discomfort in the chest area.

Though, there is no definite cure available for steroid resistant asthma, but yes, by avoiding triggers; some success can be achieved. With the support of higher doses of steroid based asthma medication, one can manage to deal with the symptoms to a great extent. In some cases, anti-leukotriene drugs can offer some relief to the patient. In fact, many therapies have been introduced like IV Gama globulin, dapsone, cyclosporine and more. Proper and appropriate medical help can definitely lessen your tension and slowly and steadily, one can recover from it as well. One should not take asthma as a light problem to deal with. If not controlled at an earlier stage, it can be devastating.
