Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a long-term condition in which the airways become inflamed and narrow, causing wheeze, cough and breathlessness.
Causes and Risk Factors
Pollen, dust mites, infections, smoke, exercise, cold air and stress are frequent triggers, and travel can add new ones such as dusty rooms, pollen and smoky bars.
Local Tips for Asthma in Konyaalti
Konyaalti’s long pebble beach and promenade are popular with families, so sun, swimming and sea-water problems are common. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the physician what you have been doing.
Travel Guide to Konyaalti
Konyaalti is a long pebble beach below the Taurus mountains, with a seafront promenade that is ideal for evening walks.
