Why is Singapore still seeing asthma-related deaths? 🛑

"We know the treatment. We know the management. We have the data."

Despite this, 638 asthma-related deaths are projected to occur in Singapore between 2023 and 2040. Why are patients still hesitant to use regular control inhalers, and why increase the risk of permanent lung capacity loss?

Our Consultant Respiratory Physician, Dr. Alvin Ng, recently joined Daniel Martin on the 'Health Matters' podcast to discuss this critical gap in asthma care and why foreign experts are surprised by these local statistics. 🎙️🫁

Key takeaways from the interview:
✅ Understanding the danger of relying only on "rescue" inhalers.
✅ The long-term impact of untreated asthma on lung function.
✅ Breaking the psychological barriers to consistent treatment.

Proper asthma management is about more than just treating a flare-up—it’s about daily control.

Haze doesn’t just affect outdoor air. Tiny particles can linger indoors too. Even with air-conditioning, smoke from cooking, candles, or incense can worsen indoor air quality.

Sneezing that happens day after day shouldn’t be ignored.
When symptoms persist or worsen indoors or in dusty environments, it may point to allergic rhinitis, a common condition that often goes undiagnosed.

👉 Allergy testing is available at O2 Lung Centre. A proper assessment can help identify triggers and guide appropriate care.

Dealing with the Heat and Haze: Protecting Your Lungs 🌫️🔥
The recent combination of scorching heat and transboundary haze has many of us feeling the strain. But is that shortness of breath just the weather, or is it something more?

Our specialist, Dr. Alvin Ng, recently joined Capital 958 to discuss how to navigate these climate-related health risks. During the interview, he shared vital insights on how the haze affects our respiratory systems and what precautions we should take to stay safe.

Did you know?
Many people mistake "haze breathlessness" for temporary irritation. However, prolonged exposure to pollutants can trigger or even reveal underlying conditions like Asthma. If you have been experiencing a persistent cough, chest tightness, or difficulty breathing lately, it is important not to ignore these signs.

Take Charge of Your Respiratory Health
Don't let the haze compromise your well-being. Identifying the root cause of your breathlessness is the first step toward effective management and relief.
