Asthma Management

Asthma is a chronic condition that can be managed effectively with the right care and education. Independent GPs consulting at Sandy Hill Medical Centre can provide assessment, diagnosis, and support with asthma management plans. 

Common symptoms include:

• Coughing or wheezing
• Shortness of breath
• Chest tightness 

Management may involve:

• Identifying and avoiding triggers
• Prescribing inhaled medications
• Creating personalised asthma action plans
• Providing referrals to specialists or allergy testing, if needed

Your GP will guide you on the correct use of:

• Metered-dose inhalers
• Dry powder inhalers
• Nebulisers 

By working with an independent GP, you can achieve better asthma control and improve your quality of life.
