Would natural asthma treatment be more effective than medicine?

Regular and moderate exercise strengthens the lungs and prevents asthma symptoms. Although exercise can be a trigger for asthma in some people, with appropriate asthma treatment and monitoring of the condition, exercise, even vigorous exercise, is possible. In fact, many world-class athletes have asthma. Consult with your doctor before starting an exercise program, and carry an asthma inhaler at all times

Why are people with breathing problems more prone to heatstroke in a heatwave?

People with breathing problems (COPD, asthma, etc) generally have to breathe more rapidly than other people. This first of all requires a lot of muscle activity, which heats the body up more than for someone who isn't having trouble breathing. Second of all, it causes a lot more moisture to be lost through the respiratory system. Dehydration is easier in this situation.Also, a lot of the people who are having these problems are overweight, and therefore may have a lot more insulating fat and less capable sweat system for their body weight than those who are in good shape, also their percentage of water weight to body weight is less than in a healthy person, so it's much easier for them to form a systemic water imbalance.

Does having asthma means your sick?

Yes, and no. Millions of people live with asthma every day. With the right treatments, you aren't "sick". And besides, you are more "well" than "sick" regardless. Just follow your doctor's orders, know what can trigger your asthma, and do what you need to do to be more "well" than "sick".
