Asthma can kill

Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that causes wheezing, coughing, chest congestion, shortness of breath and often tremendous anxiety about being unable to breath. Asthma is a horrible disease that effects many people. More then 4,000 people die each year from complications of serious asthma attacks. In recent years asthma cases have been increasing possible from increased air pollution.

Personally I don’t have asthma but I know many people who do.

Anyway thanks for reading
