Asthma control : Asthma is a chronic disease that can be controlled with proper management but not cured. It frequently is triggered by allergy. See a board-certified allergist for evaluation if your asthma is moderate to severe. The alergist can identify triggers treat you with medications and allergy shots if indicated.

It can be treated: The vast majority of asthmatics can have completely normal lives with no symptoms or only occasional, mild symptoms. There are a variety of treatments that can achieve this goal. You should see an asthma specialist.

Control your asthma: There is no cure for asthma and asthma is a "chronic" condition, meaning that it never completely goes away, but you can get control over it. About 50-70% of adults have allergic asthma, so control of allergies is important. Other diseases like sleep apnea and acid reflux can aggravate asthma too. There are medicines that can control asthma. You should see an allergist/immunologist.

Sort of.: Most of the time, asthma can now be so well controlled that you will be without symptoms most of the time, and able to participate fully in all sports activities and other activities. Conditions that trigger or contribute to asthma should be addressed, appropriate medications and other forms of treatment put in place. Schedule an appointment with a board certified allergist or pulmonologist asap.

Not really: There is no cure for asthma. However, properly treated asthma interferes only little with one's life. People who have mainly allergic asthma may improve dramatically with allergen desensitisation (allergy shots). Nasal allergy, sinusitissi and gastric acid reflux have to be looked for and treated. If you have not seen a board-certified allergist, see one, also: www.Aaaai.Org, www.Nationaljewish.Or.

Lifestyle change: Avoid all milk products since the milk protein causes respiratory tract inflammation. Also avoid grains, lentils. Consume veggies, flesh foods, olive oil. Getting 30 -45 min of sunshine at noon daily or taking vitamin D3 10,000 IU/day and taking a good probiotic (not yogurt) help reduce inflammation Yoga breathing exercises 10-30 min/day help too. This may help avoid the need for meds
