Asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways that causes episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing, especially at night or early morning. It is often triggered by allergens, infections, cold air, exercise, or stress. Dr. Apoorv Krishna offers comprehensive asthma management, starting with a detailed assessment of your symptoms, lung function testing, and identification of triggers. Treatment involves inhaled medications like corticosteroids and bronchodilators to reduce inflammation and open the airways. Patient education, including inhaler technique training and action plans for asthma attacks, is a core part of care. With regular follow-up and personalized treatment plans, asthma can be effectively controlled, significantly improving quality of life. For patients with severe or difficult-to-control asthma, advanced therapies and biologic medications may also be recommended.
