Doctors for Asthma Management
If you’re living with asthma, you know how important it is to have the right medical support. We help patients of all ages take control of their breathing and reduce the impact asthma has on everyday life.
Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or you’re struggling with ongoing symptoms, experienced doctors at our practices offer personalised asthma management plans, ongoing reviews, and practical support to help you breathe easier.
Asthma occurs as a result of various triggers such as inflammation, constriction and extra mucous. Asthma affects around 10% of the population in Australia, some people getting it when they are young, and others when they are older.
Asthma in Children
Our care includes support for children with asthma, helping families feel confident in managing symptoms at home, school, and beyond.
Adult-Onset Asthma
It’s not uncommon for adults to be diagnosed with asthma. Adults typically experience persistent symptoms and may require daily treatment to keep asthma flares under control.
Asthma Management
Management of asthma requires a committed approach. Be sure to keep track of asthma symptoms so your doctor can treat you effectively. For instance, whether you are coughing, breathless or wheezy, what are the triggers that seem to make the asthma worse, how often you need your reliever puffer, how often you use your preventer puffer, and any other medications you are taking.
Who can help you with Asthma:
- Your doctor – Is a vital resource for all your asthma-related questions. They may prepare an Asthma Action Plan, help identify triggers, discuss quit smoking options, discuss medication options and suggest frequency of checkups.
- Practice nurse – Can assist you with correct inhaler technique. We also offer on-site spirometry testing to assess lung function and help monitor your progress over time. We can help to identify asthma triggers by conducting Allergy Testing at the practice. (Children must be at least 2 yrs old)
- Asthma Specialist – You may be referred to an asthma specialist if your asthma is hard to control or your symptoms become severe.
Asthma Action Plan
An Asthma Action Plan is prepared by your doctor or nurse and outlines what you need to do to stay in control of your asthma. It helps you to improve your lung function and reduce the negative impact of asthma on your lifestyle. This plan outlines:
- The medication you need to take
- How to tell if your asthma is getting worse
- What to do if you have an asthma attack
Asthma Actions Plans should be updated every 6-12 months.
