Asthma
Facing a serious advanced illness is not easy. There are difficult topics to discuss with your loved ones, treatment options to consider, and tough decisions to make.
Here at Kaiser Permanente, we have a team of health care professionals here help you and your family talk through these challenging issues and understand your options. We want to hear what is important to you. Whatever your wishes, we will work with you by providing information and support.
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung disease in which the lung’s airways become inflamed or irritated, causing difficulty breathing, chest tightness, nighttime or early morning coughing, or wheezing. Wheezing is a high-pitched sound heard while you’re breathing.
How can we help?
We can assist you in better managing their asthma through working to setup an action plan so that you:
- Have the ability to Sleep better
- can exercise more effectively and efficiently
- Don’t have symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, or coughing as often
- Are not constantly missing school or work due to overacting asthma symptoms
