Manage Your Asthma
Asthma can range from an occasional nuisance to a serious daily challenge, but with the right plan it doesn’t have to slow you down. Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath are all manageable.
Our providers assess your symptoms and triggers, prescribe the appropriate rescue and controller medications, and create an action plan so you know exactly what to do when symptoms flare. We also monitor your lung health over time to keep you breathing easy.
FAQ
What triggers asthma symptoms?
Common triggers include allergens like pollen and dust, respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, smoke, and stress. Part of good asthma care is identifying and reducing your personal triggers.
What’s the difference between a rescue and controller inhaler?
A rescue inhaler provides fast relief during symptoms, while a controller (maintenance) inhaler is used daily to prevent symptoms. Many people with asthma benefit from both.
When should I see a provider for asthma?
See a provider if you’re using a rescue inhaler often, waking up at night with symptoms, or feeling limited in daily activities. These are signs your asthma may not be well controlled.
Can asthma be cured?
Asthma is a chronic condition that’s controlled rather than cured, but with the right medications and an action plan, most people live active, symptom-free lives.
