Living with asthma
Living with asthma
An asthma diagnosis can give you the clarity needed to begin taking control of your health. With the right action plan and support, you can continue to live a fulfilling, healthy life. This section offers practical advice on how to minimise the impact of asthma—so you can breathe easier every day.
Many people find an asthma diagnosis to be overwhelming and a source of stress. In light of this, you have access to support groups and forums to confide in others and share the understanding of asthma you have gained with us.
There are several patient support groups available where you can find information on asthma management and, if you want to, reach out to others.
Patient support groups include:
- Asthma & Allergy Support Group1
The Mayo Clinic has a discussion board to connect with others for support, practical information, and answers to your questions about asthma.
