Asthma

Asthma is a common inflammatory lung condition that can affect anyone and at any age. It is a life-long condition and can make exercise and other strenuous activities difficult for those who don’t keep on top of their asthma with a regular low dose steroid inhaler.

Symptoms can be consistent or pass on and off depending on the severity of your asthma or the activity you are undertaking. Asthma can cause shortness of breath, wheezing and whistling sounds as well as tightness of the chest.
