Web site may help patients manage their asthma

An on-line Allergy and Asthma Condition Center from MayoClinic.com connects people with information and tools to help them manage symptoms of asthma and allergies.

The site features an adult-onset asthma self manager to help adults cope with asthma and provides tips on getting a good night’s sleep, exercising with asthma, and asthma management.

"It is important for people to understand that asthma is a manageable disease. With proper education and medication, you can keep asthma’s interference with your life to a minimum," says Ashok Patel, MC, a pulmonary and asthma specialist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
