May is Asthma Awareness Month

What Do You Know About Asthma?


This May, during Asthma Awareness Month, the American Lung Association would like to remind you how important it is for people with asthma to manage their asthma. The more you learn about asthma, the better you and your loved ones can manage living with the disease.
Asthma can start at any age. Although there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed so people with the disease can live a normal, healthy life. If you or someone you know has asthma and would like to learn more about it, the American Lung Association invites you to participate in our new online learning module, Asthma Basics.
There is also more information about asthma available on our website. Visit http://www.lung.org/ today to learn more about:

• What causes asthma

• Asthma symptoms, diagnosis and treatment

• Protecting your lungs to prevent bacteria, viruses, tobacco smoke and air pollution from causing harm

• Creating Asthma-Friendly Environments
