Asthma Treatment: Information

Understanding Asthma Causes and Symptoms

Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways, leading to narrowing and increased sensitivity. Common triggers include allergens, irritants, exercise, respiratory infections, and stress. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Understanding the causes and symptoms of asthma is crucial in managing the condition effectively.

Accurate Diagnosis The Foundation of Treatment

At PIMAH, accurate diagnosis is the first step in providing appropriate asthma treatment. The experienced healthcare providers conduct thorough evaluations, including medical history assessments, lung function tests, and allergy testing if necessary. This comprehensive approach ensures an accurate diagnosis and allows for a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual’s specific needs.

Medication Management Controlling Asthma Symptoms

At PIMAH, we providers are well-versed in asthma medication management. They prescribe and monitor medications, such as inhalers (bronchodilators and corticosteroids), to control inflammation, open the airways, and prevent or alleviate asthma symptoms. The dosage and frequency of medications are adjusted based on each patient’s response and needs.
