    Is Your Christmas Tree Making You Wheeze?

    Doc, I get sick every Christmas and end up missing a few days of work. I take my family out to pick a live tree the weekend after Thanksgiving every year and 1-2 weeks later my asthma flares up.

    United Airways - How Allergies & Asthma Are Linked

    There's a reason why you almost always hear asthma and allergies mentioned together in the same breath. It's because allergies are the underlying basis for the majority of cases of asthma, especially in children. But adult asthma is also frequently related to allergies.   Experts talk about the "Atopy Triad". Atopy is a fancy medical term... Read moreChevron

    In this entry, I would like to discuss some recent findings on the association with "rhinitis" - inflammation of the nasal passages that often causes runny nose and congestion -- and asthma. In an earlier entry, I reviewed the connection between allergies and asthma. Over 2/3 of asthmatics have allergies, which often cause symptoms in the form of... Read moreChevron

    Meet Joe Goofus: The Asthmatic You Don't Want To Be (But Probably Are)

    Joe Goofus means well, but he often neglects his asthma care plan and needlessly ends up in the emergency room for asthma.   It's not that he is a bad person, he just likes to have fun. He always plans on taking care of his asthma, but something fun always seems to get in the way.   Unlike Jake Gallant, here is what Joe Goofus might... Read moreChevron
