As your physician may have explained to you, asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.
Adults tend to have lower lung capacity, which is the volume of air you are able to take in and forcibly exhale in one second. after middle age because of changes in muscles and stiffening of chest walls. This leads to adult onset asthma.
Though there is no cure for asthma, symptoms can be controlled with lifestyle changes, anti-inflammatory medications, such as inhaled steroids, and bronchodilators, which relax the muscle bands that tighten around the airways.
Albuterol is a bronchodilator. How long have you been using it? How often are you using it, every two hours? What is the dose you are using or how many puffs per dose?
