Prevention
- Follow your asthma action plan.

Pursed-lip breathing is a technique that helps people living with asthma or COPD when they experience shortness of breath.
It is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. Asthma is caused by multiple interacting genes, some having a protective effect and others contributing to the disease pathogenesis, with each gene having its own tendency to be influenced by the environment.
While you can manage mild symptoms through breathing exercises and avoiding triggers, medication is often necessary for moderate to severe cases.
