It’s #WorldAsthmaDay!

Asthma is mostly under-diagnosed & under-treated, particularly in children. Globally, asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019 and caused 455 000 deaths.

What is Asthma?

It is a common lung condition that causes intermittent breathing difficulties. It often starts in childhood, although it can also develop in adults.

[claire colvine @colvine]

This is unbelievable! Do not listen to this man! A latte will not save your life in a asthma attack! Cannot believe this man was allowed on national tv

[Laura King @LauraKingCNS]

This is just bad advice. On prime daytime TV. Old doesn't mean bad. Inhaled steroids AVOID the oral steroids that hold the high risk of side effects.
It's the "mild" asthmatics that die, preventably, and we spend our working lives mythbusting because of misinformation. 🤦‍♀️
