It's like breathing through a straw.

That’s how many people with asthma describe what asthma feels like. But for most people with asthma, it doesn’t have to be that way!

So You Have Asthma Materials

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and other asthma information groups know a lot more about asthma today than just a decade ago, and also have a much better understanding of how to treat it. In fact, based on current information, most people with asthma should be able to gain control of it—and keep it under control for a lifetime.

The So You Have Asthma materials are designed to complement working with a doctor or other health care provider. They were developed by NHLBI focusing on helping the more than 20 million Americans with asthma learn how to control this lung disease. Get started on helping yourself or your patients control asthma with these materials today.
