Asthma is a long-term illness that causes the airways in your lungs to become swollen or blocked.
Without proper treatment, asthma can:
- make it difficult for you to breathe
- prevent you from playing sports, dancing and other physical activities
- cause you to miss work or school
Asthma can be very dangerous and it is very important to control it. The Keys to Your Care Program will help you learn about asthma and learn about the medicines and equipment that help keep asthma in control. Your case manager may also work with your PCP to set up a plan to manage your asthma.
