Allergy and asthma are among the most common health problems, with more than 50 million Americans afflicted with asthma, seasonal hay fever, or other allergy-related conditions each year.

Some allergies - such as a  mild case of hay fever - may not require any treatment, or may be controlled with the occasional use of over-the-counter medications.

Others may interfere with your day-to-day activities, lower your quality of life, or even become life-threatening. In these cases, you should see a physician to help you manage allergies and their symptoms.

With one visit to St. John's Asthma Resource Center, the 34-year-old Branson music show drummer and asthma sufferer found the right medication and tools to manage his asthma so that he will never again suffer another asthma attack like the one that nearly took his life a little over a year ago.
