Abstract

Among123 patients with asthma: 59 (47,9 %) had increase sympathetic activity, they complained of cough with dry sputum (the first group); 44 (35,8 %) had increase parasympathetic activity and prolonged cough with large amount of sputum (the second group); 20 (16,3 %) had no increase in parasympathetic either sympathetic activity (the third group). The first group showed anxiety, the second group had depression. According to obtained data the bronchial asthma treatment should be with different approach as for the first group medication should include anxiolytics and decreased doses of beta-2-agonists, the patients of second group should receive antidepressant, anticholinergic and mycolytic drugs. The differentiated approach to bronchial asthma treatment allows to obtain reduction of the disease in shorter terms and helps to reduce side action of beta-2-agonists (arterial pressure increase, tachycardia, anxiety etc.).
