Asthma, Breathing & Chronic Cough
Do you experience wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or a cough that will not go away? Asthma is not a single disease. Allergic, eosinophilic, neutrophilic, exercise-related, occupational, and smoking-related inflammation can produce similar symptoms but may require different treatments.
Conditions we evaluate:
- Allergic asthma
- Eosinophilic asthma
- Neutrophilic and non–Type 2 asthma
- Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
- Cough-variant asthma
- Occupational asthma
- Severe asthma
- Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease
- Asthma–COPD overlap
- COPD
- Chronic cough
- Smoking and nicotine dependence
Evaluation and treatment may include:
- Spirometry and bronchodilator testing
- Assessment of allergic and inflammatory triggers
- Environmental allergy testing
- Laboratory evaluation of asthma phenotype
- Personalized asthma action plans
- Inhaler and spacer instruction
- Controller and rescue medication management
- Allergy immunotherapy
- Biologic therapy for qualifying patients
- Smoking and nicotine-cessation treatment
- Coordination with pulmonology when needed
