What is asthma?

Asthma is a chronic condition that inflames the airways to the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. It affects people of all ages and while it can’t be cured, symptoms can be managed. 

  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest tightness or pain
  • Wheezing when exhaling
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Coughing or wheezing attacks

The exact cause of asthma is unknown. Genetics, a history of viral respiratory infections as a child, allergens, weather, and exposure to chemical fumes, vapors, and smoke are contributing factors.

  • We’ll ask for a detailed medical history.
  • We’ll discuss your symptoms and potential triggers.
  • We’ll review any available lung function test results.
  • We’ll discuss your treatment plan.
  • We’ll recommend an in-person visit for more comprehensive testing, if needed.

Treatment for asthma typically involves inhalers and other medications depending on the severity of the asthma. The goal is to control symptoms and prevent asthma attacks.

  • Inhaled corticosteroids: Reduces inflammation in the airways
  • Inhaled bronchodilators: Relaxes the muscles around the airways
  • Oral corticosteroids: For severe cases that don’t resolve with inhalers alone
  • Identify and avoid your triggers.
  • Identify and treat your allergies.
  • Regularly change or clean air filters
  • Dust, vacuum, and clean fabric surfaces to reduce dust.
  • Avoid fragrance sprays.
  • Quit smoking or avoid second-hand smoke.
  • Manage your stress levels.
  • Get your flu and pneumonia vaccines.
