Millions of adults and children throughout the country suffer from the chronic inflammatory disease asthma. While some cases of asthma are more serious than others, it is an extremely important to continually manage the condition, and be continually evaluated by a doctor. If asthma is left unmanaged, the results can be life-threatening.
Doctors at Oregon-based Allergy, Asthma and Dermatology Associates, P.C. (AADAPC) offer effective evaluation and management for patients suffering from asthma, which is a lung disease involving recurring breathing problem. While asthma is a universally-known condition, there is not one known cause for it. Often, asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Asthma is often characterized by frequent wheezing, and coughing.
Doctors at AADAPC first evaluate patients, to assess the extent of their symptoms, as well as their current overall medical condition. For most patients, the primary goal will be to prevent and control these symptoms as much as possible. Some simple ways of controlling symptoms include avoiding smoking cigarettes; can be extremely beneficial in avoiding asthma attacks.
AADAPC's evaluation process for asthma includes a complete examination of the patient's respiratory system, called "pulmonary function testing." This practice has both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits, and tests both lung function and capacity. Depending on the extent of each patient's asthma, treatments may include medication, changes to your diet or lifestyle, and continued use of an inhaler.
All patients with asthma should be constantly monitored by a doctor, to ensure the condition is properly controlled. If asthma is not properly controlled, patients may face issues that impact their life, including disturbances in sleep patterns, severe difficulties breathing and moving, or having to reduce activities because of their asthma.
While controlling and managing your asthma symptoms can sometimes be a challenge, AADAPC strives to conduct each treatment in a compassionate, caring environment with the patient experiencing as little pain as possible.
