What it is
Asthma
is a chronic condition that narrows the airways, making breathing difficult. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Triggers such as allergens, exercise, or infections can worsen symptoms, leading to asthma attacks.
We provide treatment for stable asthma patients. If your symptoms are not controlled with an inhaler or you experience severe attacks, persistent wheezing, or a chronic, productive cough, seek immediate emergency medical care.
Asthma is a long-term condition that inflames and narrows the airways, making breathing challenging. Symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath can be triggered by allergens, infections, or physical activity. Managing asthma with the right treatment helps prevent attacks and improve breathing. If your symptoms worsen despite inhaler use, seek emergency care immediately.
When to Seek Medical Attention for Asthma
If your asthma symptoms worsen despite using your inhaler or you experience frequent attacks, it’s crucial to seek medical attention. Signs of severe asthma include persistent shortness of breath, chest tightness, or a chronic cough that produces mucus. Delayed treatment can lead to serious complications, so consult a doctor if your condition is not improving. In emergencies, such as prolonged wheezing or difficulty speaking, seek immediate medical care.
Managing Asthma for Long-Term Control
Effectively managing asthma requires a combination of medication, lifestyle adjustments, and trigger avoidance. Consistently using prescribed long-term control medications can help prevent flare-ups and reduce symptom severity. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, supports better lung function. Partnering with a healthcare provider ensures personalized treatment and long-term asthma control.
