Many patients with asthma can participate in sports and lead active lifestyles.
A new treatment to prevent some of the damage asthma causes could be available to patients soon, UK scientists have suggested.
Do you need to change your lifestyle? For Dr Katy Kasraie, private GP at The London General Practice, asthma is a lung condition that causes chronic inflammation and hyper-responsive airways that can present with symptoms such as a chronic cough, especially first thing in the morning or at night, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness.
“Also, if you suffer from a pollen or grass allergy, or suffer from seasonal hay fever, it’s important to manage your hay fever to reduce any asthma flare-ups.” “Treatments with inhalers, such as beta-agonists, which open up your airways by broncho-dilating them, or preventers, such as steroid inhalers that reduce inflammation in your airways, need to be reviewed on a six to 12 monthly basis to see if you’re on the right inhaler and the right dose, and whether you need to step up or down on your treatment plan,” she said.
