Our providers will be with you through every step of the treatment process as we work to find the care plan that works best for your asthma.

Lifestyle Factors and Asthma

Sometimes, asthma seems to have a mind of its own, and it's hard to connect asthma symptoms with any outside factors. Other times, we're able to work with our patients to pinpoint lifestyle factors that are associated with increased asthma symptoms. When you come to our office, your doctor will talk with you about potential lifestyle factors that could be exacerbating your asthma, such as environmental allergens, food sensitivities, sleep issues, stress, and more.

Asthma Medication

If your symptoms are not controlled through lifestyle changes, your doctor may recommend that you take a daily maintenance medication to help you ward off symptoms before they start. Often, maintenance medication goes hand-in-hand with having a rescue inhaler to help relax your breathing pathways when asthma strikes.

It can take some time to find the right asthma treatment, as people respond differently to medication. We may ask that you keep track of your symptoms as you implement a new medication routine so that we can understand whether you're making progress.

It can be tempting to use a rescue inhaler too often to control symptoms, but reaching out for help with your asthma is key to helping you feel your best.
