Aside from seeking medical treatment, the following are some ways you can manage your health:

  • Taking regular preventer medications: Do not stop the medications on your own, even when you
    feel better wIth the blologic
  • Exercise: Research has shown that physical activity for people with severe asthma helps improve their quality of life
  • Eating well: A healthy diet and staying active is good for the heart and lungs even if you have severe asthma
  • Do not smoke: Find it tough to quit smoking? Let us know and we will refer you to a smoking cessation counsellor
