About Asthma
Specialist Care
The good news is, with proper diagnosis and treatment of asthma, you can have a normal life. Research shows that people with asthma who are cared for by an allergist have:
- Fewer symptoms
- Improved lung function
- Fewer emergency room visits
- Fewer and shorter hospital stays
- Fewer sick care office visits
- Fewer missed days from work or school
- More productive work and personal life
- More satisfied with their care
- A better quality of life
- Lower health care costs
An allergist can help you make an Asthma Action Plan. This will let you know when your asthma is under control, when you need to change medicines, and when you need emergency help. An Asthma Action Plan should have goals for your asthma treatment and health.
With the right treatment, you can sleep through the night, prevent asthma attacks, avoid missing time from work or school and breathe easy.
