"those with asthma like symptoms can see a doctor" - are you really so stupid that you honestly believe that a doctor can wave a magic wand and phfft asthma disappears, the only thing the doctor can do is issue sufferers with medication that can help to reduce the wheezing and increase the resistance to an attack and another inhaler to help when an attack is suffered. BUT it is not a cure. Another thing to be aware of is that repeated severe attacks can cause anoxia and the associated damage to other parts of the body such as overstraining the heart. 6 years ago a neighbour of mine died on her way to hospital - she had suffered yet another severe asthma attack, insufficient oxygen got to her heart and it stopped. The ambulance crew tried to revive her but couldn't. She was only 26 years old, her daughter who is now 10 is being raised by her grandmother. Please don't try to trivialise asthma it is not an inconvenience it can KILL.
