What is asthma?

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.
