Asthma UK is warning that the NHS could face a surge in young people being admitted to hospital with asthma attacks in the coming months as the weather gets colder
The NHS has been warned to prepare for a surge in students suffering from asthma attacks as the weather gets colder. According to new analysis, there is a significant increase in emergency hospital admissions for asthma attacks among 15 to 24 year olds between summer and autumn.
"When I was 16, my asthma started going downhill and I needed my reliever inhaler again. When I moved from Bristol to London for university, things got so much worse, and since then I've ended up in AandE on 20 different occasions and have been blue lit to hospital several times." She continued: "It also didn't help that when one person picked up a cold or virus, we all ended up with it. University is a difficult place to have asthma as so many people vape and smoke, and there's little awareness of how serious it can be."
