Asthma & Chronic Lung Disease

Breathe Easier with Expert Respiratory Care

Comprehensive Management of Asthma & Chronic Lung Conditions

What Are Asthma & Chronic Lung Diseases?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Chronic lung diseases, including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and emphysema, are long-term conditions that obstruct airflow and make breathing difficult. At Adapa and Agastya Medical Associates, we provide comprehensive care to help you breathe easier and maintain an active lifestyle despite respiratory challenges.

What Causes Asthma & Chronic Lung Disease?

Asthma develops from genetic predisposition combined with environmental triggers including allergens (pollen, dust mites, pet dander), respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, stress, and irritants like smoke and pollution. COPD is primarily caused by cigarette smoking and long-term exposure to lung irritants including secondhand smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes, and occupational dust. Other factors include genetic conditions (alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency) and recurrent respiratory infections.
