In the United States alone, asthma is the most chronic disease, affecting over 20 million Americans. Over 6 million of those are children, under the age of 18. Asthma is one of the primary causes of school absenteeism. It is also the top lung-disease that is work-related, causing thousands of missed work days and millions of dollars spent in health care and lost productivity.
People suffering from asthma have difficulties breathing due to environmental allergens and irritants that either cause or worsen asthma symptoms. This may lead to a perceived lower quality of life, but that is not the case. With knowledge of what happens during an asthma attack, the many allergens and irritants that make asthma worse, and how asthma affects adults and children, you can control the number of instances in which you or your child have to suffer through an excruciating asthma attack.
Just because asthma is present in your life, doesn’t mean that you have to endure the choking, coughing, and difficulty breathing that accompany an allergy attack for the rest of your life. In this book you will find the variety of treatments that are available due to recent medical advances.
Don’t let asthma attack!
