When is asthma life threating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: My girl friend died from asthma. You need electronic peak flow meter and so2 monitor to know. You also want a competent lung doc. Inhaled steroids are standard therapy. Make sure you are not one of the 5000 asthma patients who die from it in the us every year.
