Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Asthma management involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using inhalers to relieve symptoms, and taking medications to reduce inflammation. Primary care visits are essential for monitoring lung function, adjusting treatment plans, and providing education on managing asthma. These visits can help prevent asthma attacks, improve quality of life, and reduce the risk of severe complications.
