Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. It can be triggered by various environmental factors such as airborne allergens, irritants in the air, pollutants or extreme weather changes.
Treating and managing asthma requires a comprehensive approach that accounts for lifestyle and environmental factors. At Texas Lung Care, we offer a range of treatment options including:
Each patient is unique, so our board-certified pulmonologists will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. We also provide comprehensive education and resources to help you understand your condition, learn how to manage symptoms, and take control of your life.
A typical asthma diagnosis test, also known as a pulmonary function test (PFT), can help our team diagnose and evaluate your condition. During the test, you'll be asked to breathe into a device that measures the amount of air in your lungs, how quickly you can exhale and other factors related to your lung health.
This test usually takes about 30 minutes and is performed in one of our comfortable, private rooms. Our team will provide detailed instructions before the test begins to ensure that you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Afterward, your results will be analyzed by a board-certified pulmonologist who can help determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
Your asthma treatment plan will depend on your specific needs, but if you’ve been prescribed medication for asthma attacks, it's generally recommended that you refill your medication every 3 months. You should also see a pulmonologist for regular checkups to monitor your condition and make sure that your medications are working as intended.
