Question
What are the dangers of asthma?
Answer
The main dangers of asthma include:
- Symptoms such as breathing difficulties, coughing, and wheezing, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
- Poorly controlled asthma over time may lead to chronic lung diseases, such as emphysema and pulmonary heart disease. Although asthma cannot be cured completely, ongoing medication and avoiding triggers can effectively control the condition. For patients whose medication treatment is ineffective, seeking traditional Chinese medicine treatment may help alleviate the dangers of asthma.
