Chest tightness asthma is generally referred to as chest tightness variant asthma, and the disease usually cannot be cured on its own.
1. Chest tightness variant asthma is one of the special types of asthma, which does not have the typical signs and symptoms of asthma, but has chest tightness as the only symptom.
2. Chest tightness variant asthma is not a self-limiting disease, so the disease generally can not be cured, its treatment is the same as typical asthma, inhaled glucocorticosteroids (such as budesonide, fluticasone) or long-acting β2 agonists (such as terbutaline, formoterol) is effective, the patient can follow the doctor’s instructions to use the drug.
In daily life, if repeated abnormal symptoms of chest tightness occur for a long time, we need to be alert to chest tightness variant asthma, and recommend prompt medical treatment.
