What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:
● Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing) ● Breathlessness ● A tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it ● Coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
● Reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms (salbutamol) ● Preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring ● Some people also need to take tablets.
Causes and triggers
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma triggers include:
● Allergies – to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example ● Smoke, pollution and cold air ● Exercise ● Infections like colds or flu ● Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control

This medicine is sold under the brand names Ventolin and HFA. Ventolin is the brand name of a brand of salbutamol (salbutamol inhaler). It is an inhaler that uses a propellant called a salbutamol inhalation aerosol. This inhaler is a non-hormonal device that releases a mist of salbutamol by opening and closing the lungs. When a person inhales a pressurized salbutamol inhaler, the salbutamol can be breathed in using the inhaler as the main source of pressurized salbutamol inhalation. This is done by opening the mouthpiece and inhaling a mist of salbutamol from the mouthpiece. Salbutamol is a type of medication called a beta-2 agonist and can be used to treat the symptoms of bronchospasm (such as chest tightness, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath).
