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

Theventolin inhaler is a brand name for the drug salbutamol, used to treat bronchospasm in people who have asthma. Salbutamol is a prescription-only medicine, which means that it cannot be purchased over-the-counter (OTC) from a pharmacy. Ventolin is available as an inhaler, and is also available as a nasal spray. The inhaler is used to relieve shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, wheezing, coughing up from asthma, and also to relax the heart and lungs. Ventolin is used to treat asthma and COPD symptoms (hirsutism, excessive air flow) in adults and children over the age of 12 years. It is also used to treat a cough and wheezing in adults who have asthma. Ventolin can also be used to treat exercise-induced bronchospasm (such as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (such as emphysema, obstructive narrowing of the airways in the lungs, obstructive uveitis).
Ventolin can be used to treat a variety of conditions including shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing up of asthma and COPD symptoms. Ventolin is a brand name for the drug salbutamol, which means "reliever inhaler" in English, and as a reliever inhaler in French, is a brand name for the drug albuterol tartrate, which means "short-acting" or "prepper" inhaler, which means to "prevent" breathing while taking bronchodilation drugs. Ventolin is a prescription-only medicine, which means that it cannot be purchased over-the-counter or bought by prescription. You must ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can buy Ventolin over-the-counter (OTC) from a pharmacy.
Ventolin works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, which allows for increased airflow to the lungs. This increased air flow helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve symptoms of asthma and COPD.
Ventolin comes in two types of inhalers: a short-acting inhaler (salbutamol) and a long-acting inhaler (salbutamol). The short-acting inhaler uses the medicine to relieve shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing up of asthma and COPD symptoms. The long-acting inhaler uses the medication to relieve shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing up of asthma and COPD symptoms. Ventolin works by relaxing the muscles of the airways and increasing the flow of air to the lungs. Ventolin can be used to treat asthma and COPD symptoms in adults and children over the age of 12 years and is also used to treat exercise-induced bronchospasm (such as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction) in adults and children over the age of 12 years.
