asthma screening

Asthma screening involves assessing individuals for signs and symptoms of asthma, a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs. This process can include a review of medical history, questionnaires about breathing difficulties, and physical examinations. Healthcare providers may also use tests like spirometry, which measures how well your lungs work. The goal of screening is to identify asthma early so that appropriate management and treatment can be initiated, helping to control symptoms and improve quality of life. Early detection can prevent worsening of the condition and reduce the risk of complications.
