What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:
● Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing) ● Breathlessness ● A tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it ● Coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
● Reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms (salbutamol) ● Preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring ● Some people also need to take tablets.
Causes and triggers
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma triggers include:
● Allergies – to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example ● Smoke, pollution and cold air ● Exercise ● Infections like colds or flu ● Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control

Hi, I am from the Philippines. I had a few years ago and my wife was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I went to see my GP for an asthma check up before they took my medication. It was the only medication I had and they said to take your asthma medication every day. The only difference I had was a new one called Ventolin. My doctor told me to take my Ventolin twice a day but I didn't take it at all. I took a dose of 2 metered inhalers a day. I am now in a different room and I'm having some breathing problems. I have to take it every day. Do you know if it is safe for me to take my Ventolin as prescribed?
Dr. Roach

He has also prescribed some asthma medications such as albuterol (Ventolin), ibuprofen (Ventolin), metoprolol (Propranolol), etc.Please don't stop taking Ventolin. You will be on the same medications as other patients.
Thanks
