BREATHE LA QUESTIONNAIRE
LIVING WITH ASTHMA PROJECT

Thank you for agreeing to participate in BREATHE LA Living With Asthma Project. You can help to inform and inspire others. You have faced moments when your next breath seemed out of reach, and you have faced the simple fact that to cope with a lung disease or a chronic lung condition, you must overcome it, not allow it to take you over. You are courageous, a survivor, a source of hope for others who may not yet understand the disease, those who are learning now to live with the disease, or with a loved one who has been diagnosed with asthma or other lung condition. Thank you for agreeing to share your thoughts with us so that we can share them with others to offer hope, guidance and insight on how to live a full life even with lung disease or chronic lung conditions.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me and with BREATHE LA!

Sincerely,
Julia Robinson Shimizu

Environmental factors can affect those with lung diseases and respiratory conditions.

Lung irritation triggers

  • Air pollution
  • Pollen
  • Smoke from seasonal wildfires
  • Smoking

In California, and in other warm and tropical locations, increased warmth leads to more blooming and this can make it even more difficult for COPD and Asthma patients to breathe.
