TWENTY MILLION Americans suffer from Asthma. FIFTY PERCENT of those Americans have what is known as allergic asthma. It is estimated that as many as
1 out of 4 people with asthma will go untreated as they are unaware of their condition.

Allergic asthma is a type of asthma that is triggered by allergens (pollen, pet dander or mold) instead of irritants (viral, sinus infection or changes in weather).

Look for these common symptoms:
•Chronic or reccurent cough (most common symptom)
•Continually misdiagnosed as having sinus or bronchial infection
•Chest tightness
•Intermittent wheezing
•Shortness of breath

Treatment options:
•Make an appointment with your physician to determine your diagnosis and if prescribing an inhaler is necessary for your symptoms
•Have your physician refer you to an allergist
