Can asthma return?

Question

I am 16 and i had asthma since 4 and it stopped when i was 10. Is there a possibility that it will return when i aged more?

Answer 1

Possible: It is not unusual for a patient to have a history of asthma as a child/teen have the symptoms resolve and then return as an adult.

Answer 2

Yes: Asthma can present or represent at any time.

Answer 3

By definition: Many would never use a single episode of wheezing as a true indication of asthma. An early, simple definition of asthma is:"recurrent episodes of wheezing or bronchospasm not always triggered by an infectious process". Single episodes can occur in response to toxic gas exposure, infection or other triggers in anyone.

Answer 4

Yes: In some cases from infancy, asthma improves or "disappeared" & then returns or became more symptomatic as an adult. It can happened at any age. If a young adult smokes it could developed in COPD with more chances than in others.

Answer 5

Yes: Asthma can return. It is important to realize that for most asthmatics, "asthma" does not come and go, it is always there in the airways even if there are no symptoms. This is because asthma is caused by long term inflammation in the lungs. Therefore, you should have regular breathing tests to assess your symptoms and medication effectiveness.
