What Is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic condition that is characterized by the inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This can make it difficult to breathe and also lead to:

  • Coughing
  • Wheezing
  • Chest pain or tightness
  • Difficulty sleeping

The severity of this condition can vary from one person to another, ranging from minor inconveniences to life-threatening attacks. Some people experience asthma symptoms only in certain circumstances, such as when they are exercising, sick, stressed, or exposed to cold air, allergens, or other irritants.

How Is Asthma Treated?

Asthma management has developed in the past decade and now allows patients even with severe asthma to live normal lives. Asthma treatment options include:

  • Using an inhaler (some inhalers are used on a regular basis, while others are used only during asthma attacks)
  • Taking oral medication
  • Biologics
  • Avoiding asthma triggers
  • Making certain lifestyle changes, such as minimizing dust and mold exposure and using an air conditioner and dehumidifier

pulmonologist will be able to recommend the best asthma treatment for your specific needs.
