New Delhi.All that wheezes is not asthma. All asthmatics do not wheeze. This was stated by Dr KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India.  To mark the World Asthma Day, the Heart Care Foundation of India released Formulae on Asthma. The theme for World Asthma Day this year is “You Can Control Your Asthma.”
Formulae

If you need asthma drugs
More than 2 times in a week during daytime,
More than 2 times in a month during night, or
You consume more than 2 inhalers in a year
 …then you have persistent asthma and you need continuous inhaler drug
 Speak Out Formula
 If you are able to speak a sentence, then you have mild asthma and an outpatient (OPD) treatment is adequate.
If you break a sentence, you have moderate asthma and you may need hospitalization.
If you break words, you have severe asthma and you may need hospitalization in the ICU.
