In this video, Dr. Dipak Viradia, Chest Physician and Pulmonologist at Rudrax Chest Clinic, Surat, talks about the common facts and myths about asthma.
Asthma is a long-term condition of the airways that can cause cough, wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. Many patients delay treatment or stop their inhalers because of myths they have heard from friends and family. Knowing the facts helps you keep asthma under control and live a normal, active life.
If you or a family member has a cough that does not go away, breathlessness or wheezing, book a consultation at Rudrax Chest Clinic, Athwagate, Surat or call +91 75676 19985.
Asthma cannot be cured permanently, but with the right treatment it can be well controlled so most people live normal, active lives.
No. Inhalers are not addictive. They deliver a small dose of medicine directly to the lungs, so they work faster and have fewer side effects than tablets.
See a chest physician if you have a cough, wheezing, chest tightness or breathlessness that keeps coming back, wakes you at night, or limits your daily activities.
