Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. Lifeline Clinic & Diagnostics offers expert asthma management with personalized asthma action plans, education on triggers, and effective medication strategies to achieve optimal asthma control.
Symptoms and Diagnosis :
Our diagnostic approach includes a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, a physical examination, and a series of tests to assess lung function. These tests may include:
- Spirometry: This test measures the amount and speed of air a patient can exhale, helping to determine the severity of asthma and monitor treatment effectiveness.
- Peak Flow Monitoring: This test measures the maximum speed of exhalation, which can help detect early signs of worsening asthma.
- Allergy Testing: Identifying specific allergens that trigger asthma symptoms allows us to create a more targeted management plan.
- Exhaled Nitric Oxide Test: This test measures the level of nitric oxide in the breath, indicating the degree of airway inflammation.
