Understanding asthma - in simple terms

Asthma affects your airways - the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. When your asthma flares up, these airways become:

  • Narrow and tight
  • Inflamed and swollen
  • Full of sticky mucus

This makes i t harder to breathe and can be frightening, but with the right treatment and management, you can keep your asthma under control.

Common questions my patients ask

How do I know if I have Asthma?

You might have asthma if you experience:

  • Wheezing or whistling when breathing
  • Feeling breathless
  • A tight chest
  • Coughing, especially at night
  • Symptoms that come and go
Will I need tests?

During your consultation, I'll perform some simple breathing tests to:

  • Measure how well your lungs are working
  • Check how your airways respond to triggers
  • Rule out other conditions that may be causing your symptoms

A patient's story

Mark T., Lancashire

"I'd been using inhalers for years but still struggled with my asthma. Dr Paul took time to check my inhaler technique and discovered I wasn't using them correctly. He taught me the right way and adjusted my medication. Now I can exercise without worrying about my breathing."
