Asthma is a common long-term lung condition that affects how you breathe. When you have asthma, the airways in your lungs can become inflamed and narrower. This can make it harder to breathe and can lead to flare-ups.
Asthma can start at any age. Some people have symptoms from childhood, while others develop asthma later in life.
Asthma symptoms can come and go, and they can vary in severity. Common asthma symptoms include breathlessness, a tight feeling in the chest, coughing, and wheezing, which is a whistling sound when you breathe out.
Sometimes symptoms can worsen quickly and lead to an asthma attack. An asthma attack is serious. If you are struggling to breathe, your reliever inhaler is not helping, or symptoms are rapidly getting worse, you should seek urgent medical help.
The exact cause of asthma isn’t always clear, but it often runs in families. Symptoms are commonly triggered by things in your environment or daily life.
Common asthma triggers include colds and flu, pollen, dust mites, smoke, air pollution, cold air, and exercise.
There isn’t a cure for asthma, but most people can manage it well with the right treatment and routine. A key part of asthma management is using the right asthma inhalers correctly and having regular reviews of your symptoms.
Most asthma treatment plans include two types of prescription inhalers.
A preventer inhaler is used every day to reduce inflammation and help prevent symptoms.
A reliever inhaler is used when symptoms flare up to help open the airways quickly.
