What you should know about asthma
Asthma is a long-term lung condition where your airways become inflamed and narrow, making it harder to breathe.
Typical symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and a tight feeling in the chest, especially during an attack.
Triggers can include allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander, as well as cold air, exercise, smoke, and stress.
A doctor may use breathing tests, a physical exam, and a review of your medical history to diagnose asthma.
Asthma is often treated with two types of inhalers: preventers, which reduce inflammation, and relievers like Ventolin that quickly open your airways.
Ventolin contains salbutamol, which relaxes the muscles around your airways, providing fast relief from symptoms within minutes.
Managing asthma involves avoiding triggers, following your treatment plan, using inhalers as needed, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Additional information
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic lung condition that causes your airways to become inflamed, narrow, and filled with mucus. This makes breathing difficult and can lead to recurring symptoms.
Understanding Asthma
Asthma affects the lungs by causing inflammation of the bronchi, the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. When these airways narrow, it becomes hard to breathe, especially during an attack. Many people with asthma experience varying degrees of discomfort, and the condition can range from mild to severe.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent coughing, especially at night or early in the morning
- Wheezing sounds when breathing
- Shortness of breath, particularly during physical activity
- A feeling of tightness in the chest
- Increased mucus production
Common Triggers
Asthma symptoms can be brought on by various factors, such as:
- Allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander
- Smoke and pollution
- Cold air or sudden changes in weather
- Exercise or physical activity
- Respiratory infections, such as a cold
- Strong smells or chemical fumes
- Stress and emotional factors
Managing Your Asthma
Effective asthma management involves understanding your triggers and following a treatment plan. This may include:
- Regular use of preventer inhalers that contain corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Using reliever inhalers like Ventolin for quick relief during an asthma attack
- Monitoring your symptoms and avoiding known triggers
- Keeping regular appointments with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan as needed
Asthma Treatment Options
Ventolin inhalers, which contain salbutamol, are a popular choice for immediate relief. They work by relaxing the muscles around your airways, allowing you to breathe more easily within minutes. For some people, long-term controller medications may also be necessary to keep asthma under control.
