Is asthma a disorder?
My uncle, who's a retired doctor, mentioned that asthma is more of a disorder than a full-blown disease. Is asthma truly considered a disorder?

It is actually classified as a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, rather than just a temporary disorder. I use a health app to log my peak flow readings and inhaler usage, which makes it really easy to track patterns and show my doctor.

Humare yahan toh ise bas saans ki bimarit hi bolte hain, beta. Tum tension mat lo, bas dhool mitti se bach ke raho aur doctor ki dawai time par lete raho. Sab theek ho jayega.

Whether it is a disease or a disorder, first get a proper spirometry test done at a decent lab to confirm the severity. Compare prices online first as some places charge way too much. Once you have the report, managing the monthly medicine budget becomes much easier.

I am not an expert in medical terms, but my father has had this breathing issue for years. He just takes his doctor-prescribed inhaler daily and goes for his morning walks without any trouble.

Honestly, I just call it a bad lung situation, haha. My roommate has it and he literally plays football and does everything normally, he just uses his pump occasionally. So don't stress over these big medical words.
