Asthma Management Program
Half Hour Office Visits at Granite Medical with Marilyn Green, Nurse Practitioner or Mary Hopwood, Nurse Practitioner.
What everyone should know about asthma control:
- Asthma is a disease that makes the airways of your lungs inflamed.
- Many things in your home, school, work and other places can cause asthma attacks.
- An asthma attack occurs when your airways narrow, making it harder to breathe. Asthma attacks are sometimes called flare-ups, exacerbations or episodes.
- Asthma can be managed so that you can live a normal life.
Do you need an asthma management program?
- Does your asthma keep you from going to school or work or doing what you want to do?
- Do you need to use your inhaler daily because of wheezing or shortness or breath?
- Have you had to go to the emergency room for an asthma flare-up?
- Do you wake up in the middle of the night wheezing?
- Would you like to gain and keep control of your asthma?
