Dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and exercise

These are just some of the many Asthma Triggers that can keep you out of work or your children out of school.

Cabrini can help you get control of your asthma (or allergies that can lead to asthma).

Look for these Asthma Warning Signs:

  • wheezing and coughing
  • dry mouth or runny nose
  • quickened breath, breathlessness
  • pale or sweaty skin
  • chest tightness

With proper diagnosis, aggressive follow-up care, education and a careful program of prevention, asthma can be very manageable.

For diagnosis and treatment, call Cabrini East Village Family Medical Practice at (212) 979-3200.

What Triggers Your Asthma?

  • Irritants (pollution, smoke)
  • Allergens (dust, mold, animal dander, pollen, foods, household cleansers)
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Emotional outburst (laughter, crying)
  • Dust mites (in mattresses, pillows, carpeting, stuffed animals)
  • Colds and upper respiratory infections

Remember, untreated, asthma can be fatal.
