Weâre back for a very, very, VERY IMPORTANT PSA. If you didnât already know it, both hosts, Mingyue and Minghan grew up with asthma - which is frankly why we said YES to understanding more about asthma management with Dr Helmy, a consultant lung specialist. According to Asthma Malaysia, approximately 2 million people in Malaysia suffer from asthma where 90% of them are uncontrolled cases. It doesnât matter if youâre diagnosed with asthma or not, itâs more than important to be aware about the correct asthma management methods! If you suffer from asthma, try out the Reliever Reliance Test here: https://mysihatpal.com.my/breathe-better/
