Does asthma ever go away?

no its a disease, and u cnt just get rid of it!!!

I was a preemie and I was diagnosed when i was like 4. I use to have attacks like every month or so. For the last 5 or 6 years, I haven’t had an attack. That’s the reason for my question. Thanks for the advice!!! =]

You’re welcome. My boyfriend was almost exactly the same as you, however because he used his medication as he should have (his mother is also a doctor- which helped) he stopped getting it around age 18. Just be careful because it can still be triggered by certain events, so don’t be surprised if you OCCASSIONALLY get a light asthmatic attack.

no it never goes away, it does become less frequent but asthma is for life. you learn how to deal with it and all

I had baby asthma, it stopped around six or seven, I think. I had it because my mother smoked cigarettes while she was pregnant with me. I was also two weeks premature and had jaundice(yellowing of the skin or eyes).

It does go away, but depends greatly on why you have it.

not ture!

i mean true

Actually she is right. My boyfriend’s disappeared almost completely around age 18. It depends on your reasons and where you live.

You’re starting to p!ss me off. I had asthma and now I dont. It is true.

no it never goes away! like brakingfan2006 said!

It can go away. Read my answer below.

I forgot to mention I haven’t used/owned an inhaler in like 5 years… And I was 2 months 3weeks Premature.

My boyfriend was 3 months premature and also doesn’t use his inhaler anymore. You can outgrow it. Also if you are healthy and you have developed strong lungs (which you can through exercise like swimming) then it should stay away.

watevr u ppl are stupid.

No we aren’t. I have asthma and I know of people whose have disapeared. Not giving a valid reason or answer and calling people stupid, makes you look stupid. READ the answers. Maybe you’ll learn something.

i didnt kno u could cuz my brother and dad had it all there lives

My lungs have always been my Achilles heel. I’ve had asthma, chronic and acute bronchitis much of my life.

I’ve been pretty good the last several years though sometimes allergies will set asthma off and every time I have a cold or flu I usually suffer asthma for a week to a month afterword. Dairy also sets my asthma off.

I’ve also cutt out all diary products. It triggers my asthma so badly and I swim to try and strenghten my lungs. winter is such a depressing month because I just can’t sleep or breathe properly. As for the flu, exactly the same. exercise also triggers mine. I hate this bloody thing. But what is interesting I only started getting asthma at age 18. Mine was dormant for the first years of my life and all I had was a chronic post nasal drip.

I never heard of dairy triggering an attack… That’s a new 1, to me at least.

Asthma is a disease? lol!

Yep, and I also get it if I eat foods with a lot of colourants and preservatives. It just really depends on your triggers.
