Understanding Asthma
In asthma the breathing tubes are inflamed and tighten easily, which produces wheeze, cough and breathlessness over the long term.
Common Triggers
Triggers include allergens like pollen and house-dust mites, infections, smoke, exertion, cold air and stress; a trip may bring new ones, from musty rooms to smoky venues.
Preventing Asthma
Take preventer medicines as prescribed, know your triggers, carry your reliever inhaler at all times and keep your asthma plan up to date.
