Asthma Diagnosis and Management

1. Diagnosis of Asthma

Asthma diagnosis begins with a detailed review of your medical history and a physical examination, followed by various lung function tests.

• Medical History and Symptoms: Discuss symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, as well as family history.
• Physical Examination: Listening for wheezing and checking for allergies.
• Pulmonary Function Tests: Including Spirometry, Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), and Bronchoprovocation tests.
• Allergy Testing: Identifying allergens that may trigger asthma symptoms.

2. Asthma Management

Managing asthma involves controlling symptoms and preventing attacks with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes.

• Controller Medications: Inhaled corticosteroids, Long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), and others to prevent symptoms.
• Rescue Medications: Short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) for quick relief during an attack.
• Personalized Asthma Action Plan: Includes medications, monitoring, and steps to manage worsening symptoms.
