Asthma: Asthma is a respiratory condition involving coughing, wheezing, tightness of the chest and breathlessness. Asthma affects around 1 in 12 adults and is slightly more prevalent in children. An asthma attack can be triggered by a wide range of stimuli, such as stress, sports, pollution, or allergies. Asthma is not a curable disease but may be controlled by proper asthma management. Treatment of asthma can be divided into long-term control and quick-relief medications. For further information regarding asthma please see the links above. |
