Lung disease is the third leading cause of death in America. Asthma affects an estimated 14.6 million adults and children in the United States. The rate of asthma related deaths is rising with over 5000 deaths reported from asthma every year in the U.S. Last year there were 20 Asthma related deaths in Illinois alone. Even though asthma is a chronic disease that can't be cured, proper medication and management can keep asthma under control. Knowing your personal early warning signs, managing environmental triggers, and monitoring peak flow readings are all ways of keeping your asthma in check.
