Over 5.2 million people in the UK currently receive treatment for asthma. A Simple Guide to Asthma takes you through asthma step-by-step, with particular emphasis on how you can manage your asthma effectively whilst continuing to lead a normal life.
WHAT HAPPENS NORMALLY?
In order to understand what's going on when you have asthma, it is important to first understand what happens in our lungs normally.
THE BASICS
Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the airways - the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. If you have asthma your airways become inflamed and narrow and you experience difficulty in breathing.
WHY ME?
If you, or a member of your family, have recently been diagnosed with asthma, you're not alone. Asthma is one of the most common chronic (long-term) diseases and affects between 100 and 150 million people worldwide.
SIMPLE SCIENCE
Asthma is closely tied in with the processes of inflammation and smooth muscle contraction.
MANAGING ASTHMA
Millions of people with asthma continue to lead normal lives. So there's no reason why you can't take control of your symptoms and lead a full and active life. The key to effective asthma control lies in an effective asthma management programme.
