Does asthma go away with age?

Question

I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, but now in my twenties, I hardly have any symptoms. Is it possible for asthma to completely go away as you grow older?

Don't fall for online claims that say asthma miraculously cures itself as you grow older. You must get proper lung function tests done and consult a chest specialist to know your actual lung health.

Just like managing my sugar intake with age, asthma also requires lifelong discipline. It might become less active, but you still have to be careful with your diet and general immunity.

At my age, nothing really goes away, especially not my joint pains or asthma. It just hides for a bit when the weather is good, and then says hello again in the winter.

Actually yaar, childhood asthma does disappear for a lot of kids as their lungs grow. But if you get it as an adult, it usually stays with you, so you just have to manage it properly.

I wish my lack of sleep and my asthma would both go away with age, but no such luck yet. For most adults, it just becomes a permanent roommate you have to tolerate.

Some lucky people do outgrow their childhood asthma as their lungs develop fully! Just stay active, keep smiling, and don't let it stop you from enjoying life.

I have seen many children in my family outgrow their breathing issues as they grew up. For adults, it doesn't completely go away, but a healthy lifestyle keeps it very silent.
