It took a near-fatal asthma attack for Anouska Black to realise how dangerous it can be
A Northern Ireland council area has some of the highest emergency admission and death rates for lung conditions in the UK.
Anouska said: “I was just five when I was diagnosed with asthma. Many of my friends and family have it, including my partner and two of our children. People don’t really take it seriously as it’s so common where we live. When focusing on just respiratory admission rates, Belfast, Derry City & Strabane and Fermanagh & Omagh top the ranks for having the worst rates of emergency hospital admissions for lung conditions.
Many of the areas with poor lung health are areas where people experience higher levels of deprivation, which can lead to problems like having no choice but to live in poor quality housing, where cold, damp and mould can all be triggers for asthma attacks or cause lung conditions to worsen.
