Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory condition of the airways
which causes coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and tightness
of the chest. Asthma attacks can be triggered by exposure to
allergens, physical exertion, stress, or can be aggravated as a
result of common coughs and colds. Over 5 million people in the UK
and over 6% of children in the US suffer from Asthma, and a recent
increase in prevalence is thought to be attributed to our modern
lifestyle, such the changes in housing, diet and a more hygienic
environment that have developed over the past few decades.
Asthma: The Facts is a practical guide to asthma, suitable for
those who suffer from asthma, their families, and the health
professionals that treat them. It details how a diagnosis of asthma
is reached, and what treatments are available to successfully
manage the condition and prevent attacks on a day-to-day basis. The
book contains advice on proactive changes which can be made to
lifestyles, such as avoiding allergens, as well as how to cope with
an attack, and how to administer the relevant treatment
effectively. The authors conclude that whilst there is currently no
cure for asthma, by taking a proactive, self-directed approach to
management, its impact on the patient and their lives can be
significantly reduced.
