Description

Asthma in adults is often overlooked, yet it affects approximately 1 in 12 adults and accounts for around 97% of asthma-related deaths. This book provides an in-depth look at the specific challenges faced by adults with asthma, including how to alleviate symptoms, manage concurrent conditions, and address workplace risks. The authors explore the differences between adult and child asthma, as well as common causes such as allergies, occupation, and underlying diseases like emphysema and heart failure. They also discuss the importance of accurate diagnosis, treatment options, and self-help strategies for managing asthma in adults. By understanding the complexities of adult asthma, readers can take control of their condition and improve their quality of life.
