Are you using your reliever ‘blue’ inhaler more than 2-3 times a week?
Does your asthma limit your activities?
Do you wake in the night with asthma symptoms?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, the chances are your asthma is not optimally controlled. The Practice nurses at Sherburn Group Practice are trained in asthma management and can help you get in control of your asthma symptoms using new research and treatment plans!
If you haven’t had an asthma review in the last 12 months or you are worried about asthma control, book an appointment with them now!
