Profiles of People with Asthma
Asthma is a variable and unpredictable disease. Attacks, sometimes known as flare-ups, can occur with very little warning. Severity varies from episode to episode. People who live with asthma daily understand the fear, stress, and discomfort an attack can cause.

Yet, with regular visits to their healthcare professional, the right information, and the right treatment plan, many people with asthma have learned how to manage their disease.

But remember, the information presented here is no substitute for your healthcare professional's advice. Whenever you have a question or a concern about your asthma and how to manage it, talk to your healthcare professional.
