Here's a little less known fact about me 💬
I've got acute asthma as a kid and some of my most vivid memories from my childhood were the weekly hospital check-ups and all the ice cream I couldn't eat! 😅
Even as an adult now, I find myself relying on the blue reliever inhaler to help with my breathlessness and chest tightness whenever I travel to cold countries 🥶
I always thought that the blue inhaler is THE only treatment I need but it turns out that relying on it too much could be a potentially dangerous thing too. Doctors have told me that I need to use preventer inhalers to manage the inflammation in my airways that causes asthma.
For those of you who are asthmatic too, I encourage you to take the 5 step questionnaire on RateYourReliance.sg
(https://bit.ly/2H2KGlx) to check if you're over reliant on the blue inhaler and download the test results to show to your doctor!
