asthma
Did you know that there are over 10 million asthma attacks every year in the U.S.? Although most asthma attacks can be treated without an issue, waiting to receive treatment can severely affect your health. At MedForce Mobile, we are equipped to treat your asthma symptoms.
what is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the lungs, causing a narrowing and swelling of the airways. In many cases, asthma also triggers an overproduction of mucus, causing further breathing complications. Asthma can vary in severity; for some, it’s a nuisance that causes mild discomfort; for others, it can be life-threatening and impair normal life functions.
what are the symptoms of asthma?
Because the severity of the disease varies from person to person, symptoms can look very different depending on how serious your situation happens to be. Symptoms of asthma include:
Wheezing
Coughing attacks
Tightening of the chest or chest pain
when should you see a doctor for asthma?
If you suspect you have asthma, you should visit a doctor for a formal diagnosis and treatment. If you already have asthma, you should be on the lookout for certain troubling symptoms that will let you know that you need medical attention. Worsening shortness of breath, no change in your breathing difficulties after using an inhaler, and feeling out of breath after mild physical activity are all signs you should visit a doctor.
