Thunderstorm Asthma
From Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia:
It’s thunderstorm asthma season.
⛈️ If you have asthma or allergic rhinitis (hayfever) caused by rye grass pollen, you could be at risk of sudden severe asthma caused by a thunderstorm.
⛈️ This can occur even if you have not had asthma before.
⛈️ If you have asthma or allergic rhinitis, see your doctor to discuss how to protect yourself during thunderstorm season.

Hayfever & Asthma
From Asthma Australia: You might be dealing with the combined effects of hay fever (also known as Allergic Rhinitis) and asthma!
Hay fever is an allergic reaction to airborne particles such as pollen, dust mites, mould or animal dander.
For people with asthma, these allergens can make symptoms worse, leading to more frequent or severe asthma flare-ups.
An Asthma Action Plan and an Allergic Rhinitis Treatment Plan can help you sort out what you need to do to be asthma and hay fever ready this Spring!
Book an Asthma Review with your doctor now to get both of your personalised treatment plans, which should outline the steps to take for managing your symptoms, the medicines you should use and when to seek medical help.
You can also use the opportunity to ask about getting a 60-day prescription for your preventer!
