Asthma: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention | Dr Nalini Nagalla | Continental Hospitals

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways of the lungs. In people with asthma, the airways become inflamed and narrow, making it difficult to breathe. This can cause symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma can be triggered by a variety of factors, including allergens (such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander), irritants (such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, and strong odors), respiratory infections, exercise, and stress. When an asthma trigger is encountered, the airways become inflamed, and the muscles around them tighten, causing the airways to narrow further. This makes it difficult for air to pass through the airways and can cause the symptoms of asthma. Asthma is a chronic condition, which means that it cannot be cured, but it can be managed with proper treatment. Treatment may involve the use of medications, such as bronchodilators and corticosteroids, to help reduce inflammation and open up the airways. In addition, people with asthma may need to make lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to triggers and improve their overall respiratory health. If left untreated, asthma can lead to serious complications, including respiratory failure, and even death. Therefore, it is important for people with asthma to work closely with their healthcare providers to develop an effective treatment plan and to monitor their symptoms carefully.
