Asthma

Asthma is a lifelong lung disease that causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. It affects 20 millions Americans both young and old and can limit a person’s quality of life. Though it is not known why asthma rates are rising, we do know that most people with asthma can control their symptoms and prevent asthma attacks by avoiding asthma triggers and correctly using prescribed medicines.
