Asthma

A condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe.

Asthma can be minor or it can interfere with daily activities. In some cases, it may lead to a life-threatening attack. Asthma may cause difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing, and wheezing. The symptoms may sometimes flare up more than other times.

At Kena Health, we can prescribe quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators) with allergy medication (if necessary). Furthermore, we offer valuable insights and recommendations for long-term asthma control.
