Asthma
goodtoknow says: More than 5 million people in the UK have asthma. At least 1 in 20 adults and 1 in 10 children have it although many children will out grow it. Asthma runs in families too. It affects the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. When they encounter a trigger such as dust, pollen, tobacco, pets or stress, the airways tighten and make it harder to breathe. Mucus, wheezing, breathlessness and coughing can result. Although not curable, asthma is very treatable, mostly by inhalers, which means you can usually lead a full, normal life.
For a full medical explanation of the causes, symptoms and treatments of asthma from patient.co.uk, read on.
Asthma is a common condition that affects the airways. The typical symptoms are wheeze, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Asthma cannot be 'cured', but treatment usually works well to ease and prevent symptoms. Treatment is usually with inhalers.
