Common Asthma Symptoms

Asthma symptoms can be mild or severe. You may experience:

• Shortness of breath

• Wheezing or coughing (especially at night)

• Chest tightness or chest pain

• Trouble sleeping due to breathing issues

• Fast heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting in severe cases

​

What Triggers Asthma?

Asthma symptoms are often caused by specific triggers, including:

1. Allergies
Pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust mites can trigger asthma symptoms.

2. Exercise
Running or physical activity can cause coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.

3. Workplace Irritants
Dust, chemicals, fumes, and even strong smells in your workplace can cause flare-ups.

​

How Is Asthma Diagnosed?

We may recommend:

• A spirometry test (measures lung function)

• A physical exam and symptom check

• Allergy or nitric oxide testing (in some cases)

If needed, we can refer you to a pulmonologist for advanced testing or long-term asthma management.

​

Asthma Treatment Options

Managing asthma usually involves:

• Rescue inhalers for quick relief during attacks

• Daily inhaled corticosteroids to reduce inflammation

• Oral medications for long-term control (for severe cases)

• Avoiding known triggers whenever possible

We’ll work with you to create a personalized asthma plan. Tracking your symptoms and triggers ahead of your visit can help us treat you more effectively.
