Description
What are the different levels of severity and types of asthma?
Asthma is not a one size fits all diagnosis. The advances in medicine have given doctors the ability to pinpoint a patient's asthma severity level and the type of asthma they have. Knowing the severity level of a patient's asthma and what type or types they have is critical in finding the best treatment possible.
In part two of the three-part series on asthma, Dr G outlines the different classifications of asthma severity by going over all the aspects a doctor looks at when making a diagnosis. She also reviews the types of asthma.
Kortney chimes in with her real-life experiences of living with uncontrolled asthma, and how she worked to get it back on track with controller medication.
What we cover in this episode:
What is uncontrolled asthma and why is it dangerous
The classification of asthma severity: mild intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent, severe persistent
The types of asthma: allergic asthma, non allergic asthma, eosinophilic asthma, exercise induced asthma, cold induced asthma, cough variant asthma, occupational asthma
Nighttime symptoms of asthma
Thunderstorm's impact on asthma
