What Is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and persistent coughing. According to Asthma Australia, it affects around 1 in 9 Australians, and while there’s no permanent cure, it can be managed effectively with the right support.

The signs of asthma can vary in severity and frequency. These may include:

What Causes Asthma?

Asthma is caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Common asthma triggers include allergens (like dust mites or pollen), air pollution, respiratory infections, physical activity, weather changes, stress, and certain food additives. For many, asthma begins in childhood but can also develop later in life.
While asthma is genetic for many people, identifying your personal asthma triggers is key to managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups.

Frequently asked questions

What is asthma, and how is it diagnosed?

Asthma is a chronic condition affecting the airways. It’s diagnosed through symptom assessment, medical history, and sometimes lung function testing.

Yes, asthma can run in families. If a parent or sibling has asthma, your risk may be higher–though environmental triggers also play a big role.

For some, especially children, symptoms of asthma may lessen or disappear over time. However, many people require long-term management to control flare-ups.

The most common asthma medications include preventer inhalers, reliever inhalers, and in some cases, oral medications. Your GP will help determine what’s right for your asthma type.

Not usually. Antibiotics for asthma are only used when there’s a bacterial infection alongside your asthma symptoms.

Yes. At Doctor Help, our GPs can develop a personalised asthma action plan for you during your telehealth consultation.

If you have exercise induced asthma, your GP can recommend medication timing, breathing techniques, and specific warm-up routines to help manage your symptoms.

An asthma attack often includes worsening wheezing, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness. Your action plan will teach you how to respond quickly and when to seek emergency care.
