What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic condition marked by inflammation of the lungs, which causes the airway to narrow. This results in chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. The symptoms of asthma tend to vary with each person. Some people deal with daily asthma symptoms while other people may have occasional breathing issues, such as during exercise. Symptoms typically worsen during an asthma attack, which can range from mild to severe. If you or your child need treatment for asthma, the board-certified primary care physician and pediatrician at North Dallas Primary Care Doctors provide diagnosis and management options to keep the condition under control. Schedule a visit with Dr. Suchitra Kamineni or Dr. Arun Amaram at our Frisco, TX practice.
How Is Asthma Treated?
To test for asthma, one of our physicians will perform an exam and test your lung function to see how much airway obstruction is present. At North Dallas Primary Care Doctors, we can provide a number of treatment options for asthma. Usually, asthma treatment involves a fast-acting inhaler (bronchodilator), which is used to calm asthma attacks, or a long-acting inhaler for daily use to reduce inflammation and control symptoms. Certain lifestyle changes, like regular exercise, healthy eating, losing weight, and avoiding triggers, may also help with asthma management.
What Are the Symptoms of Asthma?

- Shortness of breath that often occurs during physical activity or at night
