SYNOPSIS
Asthma is condition that affects the lungs. People
with asthma usually have difficulty in breathing,
and often cough a lot. This is because the
airways-the pipes that take air to your lungs when
you breathe-become narrower than usual. This may be
caused by the tightening of the muscles in the wall
of the airways, a swelling in the linings of the
airways and by sticky mucus blocking them up. This
makes it harder for the air to go in and out of your
lungs, so you have difficulty in breathing.
Asthma is common.
It can start at any age. Men and women, young and
old, people of all races and nationalities can
develop asthma. Asthma tends to run in families, but
sometimes it skips several generations, so not
everyone in the family is affected, About half of
all children who have asthma grow out of it.
The good news for
everyone with asthma is that it can be cures. In
fact, it can be treated so well that you can be
treated so well that you can lead a normal life. It
is important to realize that with regular
medication, asthmatics can enjoy a life that is as
fulfilling and active as anyone else.
Over the last 20
years, important advances have been made in
understanding asthma. New therapies have been
developed that can help you enjoy life to the full.
Therapies the are simple, effective, and safe-to a
degree vever possible before. Parents of children
who suffer for asthma will be especially happy to

symptom-free life, alongside normal children.
