What is Asthma?
Asthma is a breathing problem that makes it hard to breathe properly.
It happens because the tubes in our lungs become narrow and swollen, making it difficult to get enough air. This can lead to coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Certain things, like allergies, infections, and pollution, can trigger these breathing problems. While there is no cure for asthma, our doctors can help manage it with medicines and inhalers.
When to see our doctors regarding asthma?
If you get asthma episodes frequently than you are used to and find yourself using the reliever inhaler a lot, you may need to have medications you are on reviewed.

Asthma Frequently Asked Questions
We use an clinically accredited questionnaire that assesses asthma symptoms severity and control. It consists of five questions that ask about the frequency of symptoms, impact on daily life, rescue inhaler use, and overall asthma control in the past four weeks.
Everyone’s situation is different. Our doctors will review your case and decide the best course of action. If appropriate, we may adjust medication doses, prescribe combination therapy inhalers, give advise of identifying and avoid triggers.
In severe cases of asthma and where we are unable to offer help we will refund your money back and refer you to an asthma specialist.
Unfortunately not. In some cases it might not be the best course of action to see a select number of asthma patients online.
If any of these apply to you we may not be able to assist you.
