Too many children are being incorrectly diagnosed with asthma, with inhalers being dispensed for no good reason and becoming almost “fashion accessories”, say two specialists in the illness.

Prof Andrew Bush and Dr Louise Fleming warn that although steroid inhalers are life-saving when used properly, their side-effects should not be ignored.

And they call for more objective, careful diagnoses.

Meanwhile charity Asthma UK says better tests are urgently needed.

‘Significant problem’

In the UK, about 5.4 million people currently receive treatment for asthma – 1.1 million of whom are children.

Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, the two respiratory doctors from Imperial College and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London acknowledge that asthma can be a fatal condition that was once not being diagnosed enough.

Excessive stress can have a negative effect on your health and lead to more severe issues such as anxiety, depression and even cardiac events.

Here are five ways you can celebrate national Stress Awareness Month and minimize stressors in your daily life:

Laugh and connect

Many of us are together daily and have been together for years, knowing each other well. Connecting with each other on a daily basis is important. Take time each day to enjoy your relationships through laughing or having lunch together.

Exercise may cancel out the effects of sitting all day the office. New research reveals that regular physical activity may help lower the risk of health problems associated with sitting for long periods of time in office workers.

Researchers from the University of Leicester said that the latest findings highlight the importance of physical activity in maintaining and improving health. Study findings show that people who don’t exercise and spend too much time sitting are significantly more likely to have poor health and have a higher risk of developing diabetes and heart disease.

While previous studies have linked higher levels of sedentary behavior to poorer health and higher levels of physical activity to better health, researchers noted that that not much research has been done to understand the health effects of the combination of sedentary and physical activity behaviors.
