Asthma does not have to control your life. With regular inhaler treatment, most asthma patients can live completely normal, active lives. Dr. Dipak Viradia, Chest Physician & Intensivist, explains what good asthma control looks like.

Cough and breathing attacks become rare. Regular controller inhalers reduce inflammation in the airways, so cough, wheezing and breathlessness attacks happen rarely, if at all.

No need to miss work, studies or daily activities. When asthma is well controlled, patients can go to work, attend school or college and carry out everyday tasks without interruption.

Full participation in physical activities, including exercise. Asthma patients can walk, play sports, do yoga and exercise. Many athletes around the world have asthma and perform at the highest level.

Sleep is not disturbed by symptoms. Waking up at night with cough or breathlessness is a sign of uncontrolled asthma. With regular treatment, patients sleep peacefully through the night.

If you are missing work, avoiding exercise or waking up at night because of asthma, your asthma is not fully controlled, and the right treatment can change that.
