Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing them to become inflamed and narrow, making it difficult to breathe. While asthma can occur at any age, it is often diagnosed in childhood. The severity of asthma varies from person to person—some may experience mild symptoms, while others may have life-threatening flare-ups. At Baytown Internal Medicine, we provide individualized asthma care to help patients control their symptoms, avoid triggers, and live an active life without constant fear of an attack.
Symptoms and Triggers to Watch For
Common asthma symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and a persistent cough, especially at night or after physical activity. These symptoms can be triggered by allergens, cold air, stress, respiratory infections, smoke, or exercise. It’s important to recognize your specific triggers and manage them effectively. If you’re experiencing frequent breathing issues or using over-the-counter inhalers often, it’s time to consult a medical provider for proper asthma diagnosis and treatment.
How Baytown Internal Medicine Treats Asthma
Our approach to asthma treatment starts with a detailed medical evaluation, including a review of symptoms, medical history, and pulmonary function testing if needed. We design a personalized asthma action plan that includes long-term control medications, quick-relief inhalers, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce exposure to triggers. For more severe cases, additional treatments such as steroid inhalers or biologic therapy may be recommended. Education is also a core part of our care—our team will teach you how to manage your symptoms and respond to attacks effectively.
