    This is the first Asthma video I came across, and no regrets. Your energy and passion made it so engaging. I had a really bad asthma episode last week. I've had asthma my whole life, but never needed an inhaler until this year. This was so helpful in understanding was happened and how to face it.

    Dude, thank you so much for this video. Its so well done. Im not a medical student or anything like that. I am 32 and I have had asthma my entire life. I just decided tonight to learn as much as I can about my condition. You answered so many questions I have. Also, you gave me the ability to better communicate with my doctor. Thank you so much
