Moderate Persistent Asthma

Moderate persistent asthma is a chronic condition where the airways regularly become inflamed and narrowed, causing daily symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. These symptoms typically occur more than once a week but not daily, and they may interfere with daily activities, including work and sleep. Lung function tests often show some reduction in airflow. Management usually involves daily controller medications to reduce inflammation and quick-relief inhalers for symptom relief. With proper treatment and monitoring, many individuals can lead active, symptom-controlled lives.
