I can not be with you for your asthma anymore because I like to exercise and that I will never be able to do by your side ...! ", That's how Georgina Hermida, student of pedagogy, he lived the break of his "great love" of the university.

Being a multifactorial disease, it is increasing worldwide and nationally; It is estimated that there are approximately 100 to 300 million people in the world with asthma .

However, the question that follows is not a father: does it have a flavor? What does it feel like? Do you lend me to experiment? "Hermida points out.

One way to treat asthma is through bronchodilators; These relax the smooth muscle of the respiratory tract which is effective in alleviating or preventing the symptoms of this disease.
