[www.keralites.net] More than 1m people with asthma may NOT have the condition and could be taking medication unnecessarily (UK)

 

More than 1m people with asthma may NOT have the condition and could be taking medication unnecessarily 

NICE says there is no evidence a third of asthma patients have the disease

Watchdog is concerned they are receiving treatment they don't need

Now advises doctors to carry out clinical tests before diagnosing patients

This includes a spirometer - which measures volume of airway obstruction

However asthma charities say patients aren't receiving adequate care 

This means they may be receiving unnecessary treatment.
