How do you spell asthma?

My friend was talking about her son's breathing problem yesterday, and she mentioned something called 'asthma'. I want to look it up online but I'm not sure how to spell it correctly. Can someone help me with the spelling please?

It is spelled as A-S-T-H-M-A. Having lived with it for over thirty years now, I can tell you it sounds like as-ma when we speak, but that silent 'th' is always there. Don't worry too much about the spelling, just focus on keeping your inhaler handy and staying active.

It's spelled ASTHMA, with a silent 'th'. Honestly, even autocorrect gets confused with this one sometimes because of the weird pronunciation. Just type it once correctly and let your phone save it.

It is spelled asthma, silent 'h' and 't' make it tricky. As someone who works around medications daily, I see people write it in all sorts of ways on prescriptions, so you are not alone! Just remember the spelling if you are searching for your inhalers online.

It is spelled asthma, dear. I have tried everything from warm ginger water to herbal teas for my chest tightness over the years. Home remedies give some relief, but honestly, always keep your actual doctor's pump close by.

The word is spelled asthma. If you or someone you know is dealing with it, don't let it stop you from being active. Even a simple evening walk can do wonders for lung capacity, provided your doc has cleared you for it.

Yes, it is spelled asthma. It is always better to keep the doctor's prescribed SOS spray with you just in case.

The spelling is A-S-T-H-M-A. Actually, my doctor told me that the spelling comes from an ancient Greek word meaning to pant. He also emphasized that managing the triggers is way more important than just treating the sudden attacks, so keep your monsoons and winters sorted.

Hey, it is asthma! Don't stress too much about the spelling or the condition, chill. Just take your meds on time and you'll be absolutely fine, trust me.

It's written as asthma. If you are looking this up to book some lung function tests like spirometry, make sure you compare prices online first. Some labs charge way too much, so check for packages to save some cash.

It is asthma, bro. If you have this issue, keeping your cardiovascular health strong really helps. Focus on a clean diet, avoid dusty gyms, and do moderate cardio only after checking with your doctor.

It's spelled asthma. Honestly, whenever I have a slight cough, I start googling this spelling and panic thinking I have it too. I hope you are doing okay and not stressing yourself out with midnight searches like I do!
