Bethany’s precious life was lost on October 25th 2023, she was 23 years of age.

She had the most severe asthma attack her consultant had ever seen.

There was nothing that could have saved her, everything possible was done, everything had been in place, in the doctors words, “She was just extremely unlucky”

It was triggered by a viral infection.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways which can result in coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Symptoms can be triggered by various factors including exercise, allergies, smoke and pollution, and viral infections.

Asthma attacks kill three people in the UK each day and every

10 seconds someone has a potentially life threatening asthma attack. However, many of these severe attacks and deaths could be avoided by taking simple measures to improve care.

Please take asthma seriously and share this awareness.

Seek medical guidance if you’re unwell or unsure about your condition. Take medication prescribed even when you don’t feel you need it, it is protecting you.

Even if your asthma appears mild or hasn’t bothered you in a while, a trigger can have life threatening consequences, don’t let it take another life if it can be prevented.
