Bronchial asthma involves chronic inflammation of the airways, yet it can be fully controlled when managed correctly. During the consultation the diagnosis is confirmed through symptom history, spirometry and, where needed, allergy testing.
When to seek help
- Recurrent cough, especially at night or towards morning
- Chest tightness and wheezing
- Breathlessness on exertion or after contact with an allergen
Treatment is tailored to each patient: preventive inhalers, trigger management and regular review prevent attacks and restore everyday quality of life.
