Common symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Dr S K Gupta further said that asthma is a lifelong condition in many patients, but with proper medical care and awareness, it can be effectively controlled. He emphasized that underdiagnosis and undertreatment remain major challenges in India, leading to avoidable complications and hospitalizations.
The services including respiratory allergy panel testing, fungal allergy (ABPA) work-up, lung function tests (spirometry), and advanced treatment options including immunotherapy and biologics will be available at the clinic.
