It's Asthma Awareness Day today. This day falls on the first Tuesday in May each year and aims to raise support for sufferers and their families.

Asthma is a chronic lung disease which causes breathing difficulties and affects sufferers to varying degrees, asthma is caused by swelling and inflammation of the bronchial tubes, sometimes in reaction to allergens, exercise, stress or changes in temperature. Asthma is not usually curable but can be controlled to certain extents, depending on how it affects the sufferer. If asthma is controlled, then sufferers can live relatively normal lives, although some triggers may have to be avoided.

Asthma is controlled by prevention medication for chronic symptoms and relief medication for flare-ups of asthma symptoms. Education and understanding are keys to the effective control of asthma, which can be fatal if not managed properly. World Asthma Day educates and raises awareness of the condition in the hope of relieving suffering and reducing deaths.

See the below reminder “First Aid Fact Sheet, Asthma Emergency” for information on Asthma and First Aid treatment.
