Although many people first develop Asthma during childhood, asthma symptoms can occur at any time in life. This fact sheet provides general information about the nature of asthma when it appears in adults for the first time. We hope that the material helps you better understand what adult onset asthma is and how you can best manage it. Please keep in mind that this information is not meant to take the place of medical advice from your own physician.

When 53-year-old Dorothy had the flu, it took her weeks to get over it. Afterwards, she still felt winded just doing her everyday routine. Sometimes she had tightness in her chest that made her wonder if she was starting to have heart problems. At night, she noticed it was easier to breathe propped up a little bit. Finally, she talked with her physician about her symptoms. An in-office breathing test helped determine that Dorothy had asthma and her heart was just fine.
