There are an estimated 25 million people living in the United States with asthma, many of whom may not be aware they have it. If left untreated, asthma can result in loss of sleep, exercise limitations, missed school or work, emergency room visits and, in a few cases, death. Asthma can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled.
May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. It’s peak season for asthma and allergy sufferers, which makes this a perfect time to educate patients, friends, family, and co-workers about these diseases.
