Have you been diagnosed with Asthma?
Anyone with asthma who experiences wheezing, coughing, or
disruptions in sleep from shortness of breath should have better
control
over their asthma. No one should have
to avoid exercise or activity, experience lack of sleep, or be
weary because of shortness of breath, wheezing or coughing. The
expertise and technology is available to gain better control over
asthma.
Your doctor can refer you to the Asthma Clinic specialists if you have been diagnosed with Asthma or you may refer yourself. We can provide a report to your doctor on your progress.
At the Asthma Clinic, patients are offered a comprehensive evaluation
of their unique asthma condition using sophisticated respiratory technology, a certified Asthma Educator will work with the patient to gain better control of their symptoms, effectively use medications, and significantly reduce or eliminate asthma attacks. Determining the severity of your asthma is the first step
in understanding your condition and gaining control. You will also learn to use a peek flow meter to to be more aware of your asthma symptoms and treat them earlier.
