What is Asthma?

Asthma is an allergic condition that causes inflammation and affects a person’s ability to breathe. It causes the airways in the lungs to experience chronic inflammation that may worsen if exposed to certain triggers. Inflammation makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs properly, which causes wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and a tight feeling in the chest. The problem might be exacerbated by physical activity or stress, or may be induced by exercise or allergies. Asthma may also give rise to fatigue, sleep disturbance, and/or insomnia.

How Can Atlantic Medicine and Wellness Assist in Asthma Relief?

Asthma Clinic Wall TownshipWhen you visit our wellness center in NJ, diagnosis begins with a thorough medical history and review of symptom triggers. We then perform breathing tests to measure lung performance. The tests not only help your us to determine if asthma is the cause of breathing problems, but they also allow us to determine the severity of the disease. Other methods, including allergy tests, food diaries, and medication trials might be used to determine the underlying cause.
