Asthma Care by Dr. Shivanshu Goyal – Expert Asthma Specialist in Gurgaon and Delhi
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the airways, making breathing difficult and sometimes interfering with daily activities. It occurs when the airways swell, tighten, and produce excess mucus, leading to reduced airflow. This can cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, often referred to as an asthma attack. Dr. Shivanshu Goyal offers expert care to help patients effectively manage and treat asthma for a better quality of life.
What Happens in Asthma?
When you breathe, air flows through your nose, down your throat, into your airways, and finally into your lungs. Tiny air passages in your lungs help deliver oxygen into your bloodstream.
In asthma:
- The lining of your airways swells.
- The muscles around your airways tighten.
- Mucus fills the airways, reducing airflow.
These changes can lead to an asthma attack, causing coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing.
Causes of Asthma
- Genetic predisposition: A family history of asthma increases your risk.
- Environmental triggers: Exposure to allergens, smoke, or pollution.
- Viral infections: Especially during childhood.
