My Essential Question...

I have constructed this essential question because I firmly believe asthma awareness is very important in our society. Would you believe that asthma-like symptoms were described in ancient documents going all the way back to 5000 B.C.? It’s true. And despite this long history, there dwells a lot about this disease that prevails an enigma. I chose this particular question because I find the topic of asthma quite intriguing, especially since the cause remains a mystery as well as the cure. It is imperative to visit a pulmonologist if you are experiencing any symptoms correlated with asthma. There are may tests which can help identify if you are diagnosed with asthma, yet,the question remains: which method proves to be the most effective? Unraveling the answer to my research question can be very beneficial to many patients. If we find the top three effective methods of identifying asthma, it could help save the time and money of many potential asthmatic patients who do not have to undergo necessary tests. I feel that this question accurately reflects a desire/need that I have to find out more about my topic. Asthma awareness is relevant because asthma is an invisible disease and most people do not have it and cannot fathom what it is like. You also cannot manufacture what it’s like. You can explain it to the patients how to avoid asthma triggers. Asthma is a critical issue because there are roughly 340 million people worldwide who are living with asthma. Many of them have obtained ideal asthma control thanks to modern wisdom and medicine. However, many more of them seek to obtain better asthma control, maybe even a cure.
