Asthma is a lifelong disease that causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. It can limit a person’s quality of life. While we don’t know 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.

Ed Neuzil, Board Certified Nurse Practitioner at Allergy, Sinus and Asthma Family Health explains how asthma and allergies often go hand in hand.
