Asthma is a common condition affecting people from all walks of life. It is typified by shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing at night. While not every case of asthma is severe, it is always a good idea to get a proper diagnosis. For many people, symptoms rarely present themselves outside of an asthma attack. This is when the airways partially or completely close and cause severe discomfort and loss of breath. You should always be prepared with an inhaler or prescribed aid from our asthma treatment.

COPD is a condition similar to asthma. Symptoms range from a mucus-filled cough to tightness in the chest. People with COPD experience instances of extreme discomfort sometimes related to exercise. These “flare-ups” can be critically harmful and require emergency medical services or hospitalization. The best treatment plans center on changing your lifestyle combined with effective medications. We help you manage the disease through self-care strategies.

Pulmonary diseases should be treated with the utmost seriousness. If you have chest tightness, coughs you cannot shake, or other symptoms, please seek help immediately. Our doctors help with oxygen prescriptions, pulmonary function tests, and bronchoscopy. With the right treatment, you can continue living a normal, active lifestyle.
