ASTHMA REVIEW INVITATION

 

Please print this information to help organise your Asthma Review.

 

Asthma is caused by inflammation of the airways. These are the small tubes, called bronchi, which carry air in and out of the lungs. If you have asthma, the bronchi will be inflamed and more sensitive than normal. When you come into contact with something that irritates your lungs, your airways become narrow, the muscles around them tighten and there is an increase in the production of sticky mucus (phlegm).

There are a number of treatments that can help effectively control the condition.

 

Treatment is based on two important goals:

  • relieving symptoms 

  • preventing future symptoms and attacks from developing

 

Treatment and prevention involves a combination of medicines, lifestyle advice, and identifying and then avoiding potential asthma triggers. Our specialist nurses provide reviews for your asthma and work with you to make sure that you are managing the condition well.
