Condition
Asthma & Allergies
Breathing difficulty, wheeze, dust and seasonal allergies.
Asthma and allergic disease are long-term conditions, but with the right inhaler and the right technique they should not limit daily life. Much of the benefit comes from proper patient training.
What patients often report
- Wheeze, cough or chest tightness
- Breathlessness on exertion or at night
- Sneezing, watery eyes or nasal blockage
- Symptoms triggered by dust, smoke or weather change
How it is assessed
- Chest examination and inhaler technique check
- Spirometry or peak-flow measurement
- Review of triggers, pets and home environment
- Assessment of symptom control score
How care is usually structured
- Correct inhaler choice, dose and technique
- Written action plan for flare-ups
- Antihistamines and nasal treatment when needed
- Reducing avoidable triggers at home and work
When to seek urgent care
- Inhaler not relieving breathlessness
- Difficulty speaking full sentences
- Bluish lips or extreme drowsiness
If any of these apply, go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services — do not wait for a routine appointment.
