Spring is asthma and allergy season. Many people living in areas that were affected by the bushfires have also reported suffering from some level of breathing difficulty this year, especially during exercise or cold weather. And then there is the ongoing threat of COVID-19! While no specific data has been published that suggests people with asthma are at greater risk of contracting the virus or experiencing a more serious illness if they do so, Asthma Australia and Ochre Health encourage anybody with asthma to do everything they can to protect themselves.
In short, it is important not to under-estimate the risks of asthma. An asthma attack can come on very quickly and, if it is very severe, it can kill you!
If you have been experiencing mild to moderate breathing difficulty in any situation, we encourage you to speak to your doctor.
If suffer from asthma, it is important to reduce your risk by optimising your asthma control. When it comes to managing your asthma, Asthma Australia and Ochre Health recommend the following checklist:
Talk to your Ochre Health doctor or call Asthma Australia on 1800 ASTHMA (278 462) if you have any questions about your asthma or the above checklist. If you need an in-person appointment, Ochre Medical Centres have comprehensive systems and processes in place to protect patients from COVID-19, including screening for any flu-like symptoms, mandating masks or face-covering, social distancing and a strong focus on hygiene.
