Understanding Asthma and COPD
Asthma is a condition where airways tighten and swell, often triggered by allergens or exercise. COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is usually caused by long-term lung irritation. Both require ongoing monitoring and treatment to prevent serious complications.
Understanding Prevention & Triggers
Preventing asthma and COPD flare-ups starts with understanding triggers. These may include smoke, allergens, infections, or weather changes. Our Omaha providers help identify your triggers and create a plan to avoid them, reducing the frequency and severity of attacks.
Understanding Long-Term Care
Asthma and COPD are lifelong conditions, but with consistent care, many people live active, fulfilling lives. Long-term care includes inhaler management, lung function tests, and regular follow-up visits. Our Omaha office provides practical support and coordinates with pulmonary specialists when needed.
Common Questions About Asthma and COPD Care in Omaha
What is the difference between asthma and COPD?
