ASTHMA

Asthma is relatively common with an estimated 12 million Americans, including more than 4 million children, having asthma.

Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, a tight feeling in the chest, coughing, and wheezing. Sometimes a chronic cough is the only symptom, and many cases go undiagnosed. Symptoms are most frequent at night and in the morning, but an asthma episode can occur at any time. These may range from only mild discomfort to life-threatening attacks in which breathing stops altogether.

Allergy A.R.T.S. features a state-of-the-art pulmonary lab for both adult and pediatric patients suffering from asthma.
