The statement of how long a person with bronchial asthma can live is inappropriate. The life expectancy of patients with bronchial asthma is affected by a number of factors, including the severity of asthma and the degree of control of the disease.
1. Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, often manifested by recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which require long-term standardized treatment and management.
2. For patients with mild bronchial asthma, or patients with bronchial asthma whose condition is well controlled, the life expectancy of the patients is generally not affected, and they can live to old age just like healthy people.
3. If bronchial asthma has recurrent attacks, and the condition develops into moderate or even severe bronchial asthma, especially if it is combined with diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pulmonary heart disease and heart failure, the quality of life and survival time of the patient may be affected, and even life may be jeopardized at any time due to respiratory failure and circulatory system failure.
In addition, age factors, nutritional status and many other circumstances can affect the patient’s life expectancy. Bronchial asthma is not yet curable, patients should go to regular hospitals to develop a reasonable long-term standardized treatment, under the guidance of the doctor to adjust the medication at the right time, in order to achieve and maintain asthma control and improve the quality of life.
