What is Bronchial Asthma?

A condition where the airways are highly sensitive and overreact to foreign substances or environmental changes. The underlying cause is unclear but involves genetics. Many triggers for asthma flares include smoke, pollen, dust mite droppings, cold weather, exercise, and viral infections.

Diagnostic Questions for Bronchial Asthma

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Does your cough get worse with exercise?
  • Is your breathing noisy, like wheezing or rattling?
  • Are you breathing heavily with your shoulders moving?
  • Is your breathing faster than usual?
  • Do you have trouble breathing when lying down that gets better when you sit up?

Treatment of Bronchial Asthma

Treatment involves identifying and avoiding triggers. The doctor may prescribe different inhalers for different purposes (prevention and rescue). In cases of Severe and Uncontrolled Asthma, biologic therapies should also be considered, which are targeted medications that address specific immune system pathways and reduce inflammation in the airways. Severe attacks can be life-threatening and require emergency medical care. Doctors who specialize in treating patients with asthma are called allergists and pulmonologists.
