Our surgery homes many doctors trained to look after complex asthmatic conditions. Some of these doctors have been involved in asthma training to other health professionals and our knowledge in this area remains very current. Our doctors can provide information, education and treatment for patients who suffer from asthma to help increase the patient’s quality of life.
Asthma is caused by the narrowing of the airways in the lungs, and symptoms can include wheezing, coughing (particularly at night), chest tightness, difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath. Asthma is a treatable health condition. Although at present there is no cure, with good management, people with asthma may lead normal, active lives.
Please discuss with your doctor the best way to manage your asthma. For further information, please refer the National Asthma Council Australia website.
