About Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. While asthma can't be cured, its symptoms can be controlled with proper management and medication.
Common Causes
- Airborne allergens (pollen, dust mites, pet dander)
- Respiratory infections
- Physical activity (exercise-induced asthma)
- Cold air
- Air pollutants and irritants
- Certain medications (beta blockers, aspirin)
- Strong emotions and stress
- Sulfites in food and beverages
- GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Symptoms to Watch For

Healthcare in Valencia: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Valencia and across Valencian Community, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Valencia's public healthcare is run by the Conselleria de Sanitat of the Generalitat Valenciana, which organises the city into health districts each anchored by a hospital with a 24-hour urgencias department. Spanish and Valencian are both co-official, and you will see Valencian used first on much official health signage. State healthcare is run at regional level, so the rules you meet depend on where you are rather than on Spain as a whole. EU, EEA and Swiss visitors holding an EHIC (or a UK GHIC) can use public primary care and emergency departments on the same terms as residents, though you will normally be asked for the card plus photo ID at reception. Outside surgery hours, pharmacies operate a rota — the farmacia de guardia — and the duty pharmacy is posted in the window of every closed chemist. Unlike the resort towns further south, Valencia is a working city with a large student and young-professional population alongside a growing number of remote workers, so demand skews towards travel-health advice, contraception and prescriptions rather than holiday injuries. The city sits on the coast with an extensive beach and huerta hinterland, and its summers are humid as well as hot — a combination that reliably produces heat-related presentations and skin complaints from late June through September.
- Growing expat community
- Affordable Mediterranean living
- Famous for paella and beaches
