    Understanding Asthma

    Asthma or bronchial asthma is a kind of lung disease in which the airways become narrow and swollen and get blocked by excessive mucus.

    It is a chronic medical condition that can impact an individual’s ability to breathe properly and his or her general quality of life.

    SGVP Holistic Hospital’s Pulmonology Department offers the best asthma treatment in Ahmedabad using the latest medical technology and equipment under the expert care of the best pulmonologists in Ahmedabad.

    Causes and Risk Factors of Asthma

    The precise cause of asthma is unknown. However, some factors can trigger the symptoms associated with asthma. The different types of asthma triggers could include:

    • Exposure to allergens, toxins, fumes, and second- or third-hand smoke
    • Allergies
    • Family history of asthma or other allergic diseases
    • Air pollution
    • Respiratory infections
    • Occupational exposures to chemicals, cleaning products, dust from wood or flour
    • Household pests
    • Dust mites
    • Pet dander 
    • Mold
    • Exercise
    • Smoking
    • Strong smells or chemicals

    Signs and Symptoms of Asthma

    Some common symptoms associated with asthma include:

    • Shortness of breath
    • Coughing, especially at night time
    • Wheezing
    • Chest pain, tightness, or pressure

    Diagnosis of Asthma

    At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our well-qualified asthma doctor in Ahmedabad can help in the early and accurate diagnosis of asthma based on the results of the following diagnostic tests:

    • Physical examination: The doctor first asks the patient about his or her symptoms. The patient’s breathing is checked by the doctor using a stethoscope. 
    • Medical and family history: The patient is asked about his or her medical history and if there is any family history of asthma.
    • Chest X-ray: The X-ray can help the doctor detect any structural abnormalities or infections in the chest area that could be a possible cause of the patient’s breathing problems.
    • Spirometry / pulmonary function test: The patient will be asked to blow into a device measuring the airflow through his or her lungs during this test.
    • Allergy test: The doctor may recommend blood tests or skin tests to see if there are any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives or eczema, as allergies are known to increase the risk of developing asthma.

    Treatment Options for Asthma

    The goal of undergoing asthma treatment is to improve breathing, reduce the number and frequency of asthma attacks, and increase the number of tasks an asthma patient can do.

    Asthma symptoms can be managed by using the following different types of asthma medicines:

    • Short-term and long-term bronchodilators: These medicines help relax the muscles that are present around the airways.
    • Antibiotics: These medicines may be recommended in cases of bacterial infections, for example, in cases of bacterial pneumonia or bronchitis.
    • Anti-inflammatory medicines: Medicines such as inhaled corticosteroids may be suggested for the long-term management of asthma condition. 

    Oral steroids could be recommended in cases of acute asthma attacks. They may help in reducing the swelling and the production of mucus in the airways to enable and easier entry and exit of the air in the lungs.

    • Biologic therapies: These medicines are used in severe asthma cases in which the asthma symptoms persist even after using the inhaler therapy.
    • Combination medicines: In some cases of asthma, a combination of bronchodilators and corticosteroids may be used.

    Asthma medicines may be administered in many different forms, including metered-dose inhalers, other forms of inhalers, nebulizers, or medicines that can be orally swallowed.

    SGVP Holistic Hospital offers tailored asthma treatment in Ahmedabad, based on the individual health status and requirements of the asthma patient to achieve the best possible outcomes.
