Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs and airway. Hallmarks of asthma are chronic inflammation and narrowing of the airways leading to episodic wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Initially these effects are reversible, but as the inflammation progresses the narrowing due to the airway walls thickening becomes permanent resulting in chronic shortness of breath.
Asthma affects over 22 million Americans and about one third of the sufferers are children. Allergens, Irritants, pollutants, respiratory infections, and exercise can all trigger asthma symptoms. The recognition of such triggers, early diagnosis, and treatment of asthma can be life changing, allowing patients to lead normal, symptom-free lives, even to include competing in sports on the highest levels. Premier Allergy and Asthma Centers provide expert diagnosis, care and management of asthma based on years of experience using the latest advances in modern medicine.
This multifaceted approach involves pulmonary function testing, detection of allergen triggers, and analysis of complicating factors resulting in an individualized prevention and management plan for each patient. Your individually tailored treatment plan may include medications, daily and/or rescue inhalers, self-monitoring by daily breathing measurements at home (peak flow meter), as well as allergen immunotherapy where appropriate.
We are always in step with the latest advances in allergy and asthma treatment. Thus, we provide routinely all the newest in biologic asthma therapeutics, namely Xolair (Omalizumab), Nucala (Mepolizumab) , Cinquair (Reslizumab), and Fasenra (Benralizumab), as well as any new treatment options as soon as they are approved by the FDA and become available.
With the help of Premier Allergy and Asthma Centers’ experts you will be the master of your asthma and leading a normal life.
