Asthma & COPD
Management
Evidence-based management of chronic respiratory conditions. Personalized treatment plans to control symptoms, prevent exacerbations, and improve quality of life.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition where airways become inflamed, narrow, and produce excess mucus, making breathing difficult. With proper management, most people with asthma can lead active, normal lives.
Common Symptoms
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness
- Coughing (especially at night)
- Exercise intolerance
Common Triggers
- Allergens (dust, pollen, pets)
- Cold air
- Exercise
- Respiratory infections
- Smoke and pollution
- Stress
Risk Factors
- Smoking (current or past)
- Long-term exposure to pollutants
- Occupational dusts
- Genetics (alpha-1 antitrypsin)
- Age over 40
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. While there's no cure, proper treatment can slow progression and significantly improve symptoms.
Common Symptoms
- Chronic cough
- Excessive mucus
- Shortness of breath
