My friend is 22 and was diagnosed with cardiac asthma at the age of 17. Symptoms: pain in the chest region sometimes very severe, breathlessness, fatigue. She has been taking medicines to control it but very irregularly. She's also a heavy smoker and into drugs and alcohol. Is there a permanent cure to her condition??

I suspect your friend was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. The first she has to do is give up smoking, alcohol and drugs. All these will worsen her condition.  She has to then take her meds regularly and review with cardiologist on a regular basis.  with these measures she will improve significantly.
