Understanding Asthma: What You Need to Know

Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe.

• Symptoms: Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
• Diagnosis: Asthma is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical exams, and lung function tests like spirometry.
• Treatment: Treatment focuses on two main goals:
  1. Quick Relief: Using short-acting beta-agonists (rescue inhalers) to open airways during an asthma attack.
  2. Long-Term Control: Using daily medications like inhaled corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and prevent symptoms.
• Action Plan: Every patient with asthma should have a written asthma action plan that outlines how to manage daily symptoms and what to do during an attack.
