Asthma Symptoms, Causes & Treatment | Dr. Apurba Kumar Borah

"Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the airways of the lungs. It can make breathing difficult and can trigger a variety of symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In some cases, asthma may lead to a life-threatening attack. This condition can vary in severity, from mild and manageable to severe enough to interfere with daily activities. In this video, Dr. Apurba Kumar Borah, Consultant & Head of Anaesthesia & Critical Care at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Guwahati, discusses the causes, symptoms, and effective treatment options for asthma. Common Symptoms of Asthma: Wheezing (a whistling sound while breathing) Coughing, especially at night or early morning Shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing Chest tightness and discomfort The most common cause of asthma is inflammation of the airways, which makes it difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs. Triggers for asthma attacks can include allergens, respiratory infections, smoke, pollution, and even exercise. Treatment for Asthma generally involves the use of inhalers, which help open up the airways and prevent symptoms. In some cases, long-term medications may also be prescribed to control asthma and reduce the frequency of attacks. Early diagnosis and asthma management can help people lead active lives with fewer disruptions. It's important to work closely with a healthcare provider to manage and monitor symptoms.
