Pulmonologist

I finally saw a pulmonologist today. I went to the Arizona Center for Chest Disease & saw Dr. Santhana. My friend Kiran sees him for her Asthma & has been recommending him for a while. I was at the office for 2 hours. Dr. Santhana was running behind. It always amazes me how long doctor appointments take. Dr. Santhana was a very nice man. He decided to increased my Advair dosage & wants me to use a peak flow meter. Peak flow meters are used to measure how air flows from your lungs. The peak flow readings should help to manage my Asthma. I will go back for a follow-up appointment in a month. I'm hoping the medication change will help with my Asthma symptoms.
