Pulmonology & Respiratory Medicine
Asthma & COPD treatment
Asthma and COPD both narrow the airways and cause breathlessness, but differ in cause — asthma is often allergy-linked, COPD usually smoking-related.
Common symptoms
- Wheezing or shortness of breath
- Chest tightness
- Chronic cough
- Symptoms worsening with triggers or exertion
What it involves
Inhaler-based medication (reliever and preventer), trigger identification, and regular lung function monitoring.
What to expect
Asthma is often well-controlled with consistent inhaler use; COPD management focuses on slowing progression and easing symptoms.
