Asthma Care and Evaluation

Let Us Help You Breathe More Freely

LEARN THE SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS

Asthma flare-ups can be very scary, as they make it incredibly difficult for air to pass through the airways in your body. While asthma can start at any age, it is possible to find relief from the symptoms so that you can breathe more easily. At The Allergy and Asthma Center of Corpus Christi, we know that there can be many different triggers for an asthma flare-up, which is why we offer the care and evaluation you need. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

There are many different things that can cause an asthma flare-up, and the allergens that trigger one person won’t necessarily trigger another person. It’s important to identify what causes your flare-ups so that you can receive effective treatment. Some possible triggers for asthma include:

  • Smoke
  • Animal Dander
  • Dust Mites
  • Pollen
  • Strong Odors - fragrances, cleaning products, and more
  • Changes in Weather
  • Cold Air
  • Running or Playing
  • Crying or Laughing

Asthma in Children

Asthma can start at any age in life, which can make it difficult for parents to identify in very young children. Since the symptoms can be similar to a cold or viral infection, it’s important to schedule an appointment to get a professional evaluation. Some of the most common symptoms in pediatric asthma include:

  • Coughing - notably at night
  • Whistling and Wheezing - especially during exhalation
  • Frequent Colds - strangely lingering
  • Difficulty Breathing

Asthma in Adults

Sometimes, asthma doesn’t show up until much later in life. If you are an adult, and you cannot take in a deep breath of fresh air without prompting breathing difficulties or chest-tightening, then you need to schedule asthma testing right away. You have probably developed asthma without even realizing it. It’s important not to delay a medical diagnosis and treatment, as this could lead to serious health problems.

The Allergy and Asthma Center of Corpus Christi has the experience and technology that can properly diagnose and treat asthma. Whether you are unsure if you have asthma, we can help. Don’t delay scheduling an appointment so that you can receive the proper evaluation and treatment you need to get back on the path to breathing with ease. Contact us today!
