What are the potential risks of fasting for those with asthma?

For individuals with asthma, fasting can pose certain risks, particularly if they experience triggers related to food, hydration, or stress. Lack of hydration during fasting hours can lead to dry airways, potentially causing asthma symptoms to worsen. It's essential for those with asthma to have a management plan in place. Consult your GP for advice on how to manage your condition during Ramadan, including any necessary adjustments to medications. If you notice any increase in your symptoms while fasting, it’s crucial to break your fast and seek medical assistance. Prioritizing your respiratory health is vital during Ramadan.
