👴🏻👵🏻 Did you know that May is Older Americans Month?
🫁 Approximately 7.2% of adults aged 65 and older in the U.S. have asthma. However, diagnosing asthma in older adults can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other age-related health issues like COPD and heart disease. This often leads to underdiagnosis and undertreatment, increasing the risk of severe asthma episodes. 😔
If you're experiencing persistent coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath, don't dismiss it as just aging. Consult your healthcare provider to explore if asthma might be the cause.
