90% of people with asthma aren’t using their inhalers correctly and you could be one of them. Get your inhaler technique checked.

Asthma is a condition that affects the airways in your lungs. People with asthma have sensitive airways that become inflamed when exposed to triggers. Inflammation causes the airways to narrow and swell and may lead to the production extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
