What you should know about asthma
Asthma is a long-term lung condition where your airways become swollen and narrow. This makes it harder to breathe, especially when you experience an asthma attack.
Asthma symptoms can vary, but during an attack, you might notice:
Chest Tightness: A heavy or tight feeling in your chest.
Wheezing and Coughing: A high-pitched whistling sound or persistent cough.
Shortness of Breath: Difficulty catching your breath or feeling like you can’t take a deep breath.
To help prevent acne, maintain a skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, avoid touching your face, use non-comedogenic products, and manage stress. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated can also help.
Common triggers include allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander, as well as factors such as cold air, exercise, smoke, and stress.
There are two main types of inhalers used to treat asthma:
Reliever Inhalers: Quick-acting inhalers, like Ventolin, that open your airways fast during an attack.
Preventer Inhalers: These help reduce inflammation in your airways over time.
Ventolin contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which relaxes the muscles around your airways. This action quickly relieves symptoms by making it easier for you to breathe within minutes.

Additional information
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic lung condition that causes your airways to become inflamed, narrow, and filled with mucus. This inflammation makes breathing difficult and can lead to recurring symptoms.
Understanding asthma
Asthma affects your lungs by causing swelling in the bronchi—the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. When these passages narrow, you may find it hard to breathe, especially during an asthma attack. The condition can range from mild to severe, affecting people in different ways.
Common symptoms of asthma
People with asthma often experience:
- Persistent Coughing: This is common at night or early in the morning.
- Wheezing: A whistling sound when you breathe.
- Shortness of Breath: Particularly noticeable during physical activity.
- Chest Tightness: A feeling of pressure or tightness in the chest.
- Increased Mucus Production: Extra mucus can clog the airways.
Common triggers for asthma
Asthma symptoms can be triggered by various factors, such as:
- Allergens: Dust, pollen, and pet dander.
- Environmental Irritants: Smoke and pollution.
- Weather Changes: Cold air or sudden shifts in weather.
- Physical Activity: Exercise can sometimes trigger symptoms.
- Infections: Respiratory infections, like a cold.
- Strong Smells: Chemical fumes or strong odors.
- Stress: Emotional stress can also be a trigger.
Managing your asthma
Managing asthma effectively means understanding your triggers and following a personalized treatment plan. This might include:
- Regular Use of Preventer Inhalers: These contain corticosteroids to reduce airway inflammation.
- Using Reliever Inhalers: Quick relief inhalers like Ventolin help open your airways during an attack.
- Monitoring Your Symptoms: Keep track of your condition and avoid known triggers.
- Routine Healthcare Appointments: Regular check-ups help adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Asthma treatment options
Ventolin inhalers, which contain salbutamol, are a popular choice for immediate relief. Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles around your airways, easing breathing within minutes. For some individuals, long-term controller medications are also necessary to keep asthma under control.
