Asthma Week is Asthma Australia’s annual awareness-raising activity held on 1 – 7 September each year, for the more than 2.8 million people with asthma in Australia.
Asthma is a serious condition that leads to the deaths of around 400 Australians each year. But, in many cases, asthma is also a manageable condition, and people can live a full and uninhibited life unhindered by its symptoms.
Asthma affects people of all ages, from childhood to adulthood, and it can appear at all ages and stages of life. Just because you don’t have symptoms, it doesn’t mean the asthma is gone. The symptoms of asthma include wheezing, breathlessness, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. This is because the airways are narrowed temporarily.
