Asthma

Evaluation & Management of Respiratory Symptoms

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can cause symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may be triggered or worsened by factors such as respiratory infections, allergens, environmental exposure, or physical activity.

Dr. Niraj Bohania provides medical evaluation and management of asthma as part of comprehensive Internal Medicine and Family Medicine care.

Understanding Your Symptoms

A medical evaluation may include:

• Detailed assessment of respiratory symptoms

• Review of symptom patterns and possible triggers

• Medical and family history

• Physical examination

• Assessment of respiratory function when appropriate

• Evaluation of associated medical conditions

• Review of prescribed medications

• Follow-up based on symptom control

Identifying individual triggers and recognising changes in symptoms can be an important part of ongoing asthma management.

Pulmonary Function Testing

RR Medical & Research Centre provides Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT), which can support the assessment of lung function when clinically appropriate. PFT results are considered alongside the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, and medical history.

Long-Term Asthma Care

Asthma management is often focused on controlling symptoms, maintaining good respiratory function, and reducing the likelihood of exacerbations. Patients may receive guidance regarding trigger avoidance, medication use, and when to seek further medical attention.

Patients should use prescribed inhalers or other medications according to their physician’s instructions rather than changing treatment independently.

Comprehensive Medical Support

Respiratory symptoms can sometimes overlap with other medical conditions. A physician-led assessment can help determine whether additional investigations are appropriate.

The centre’s available diagnostic facilities, including PFT, X-ray, pathology and laboratory services, can support medical evaluation when required.

The goal of asthma care is to help patients achieve better symptom control and maintain their respiratory health through appropriate evaluation, personalised management, and regular follow-up.
