Anytime that a person has to struggle to breathe is a scary experience, indeed, as breathing should be the easiest thing in the world. When you have an asthma flare-up, regardless if it is minor or severe, it can feel quite unnerving. At Apt Urgent Care, we take any asthma flare-up seriously, and our medical professionals treat asthma with the utmost care and expertise.
If you do not have a primary care physician or cannot see your primary care physician, you should find an urgent care clinic to go to that specializes in asthma treatment! If you have an asthma attack, the emergency room should be your last resort, as you will likely have to endure long wait times and pay more for treatment. You should only go to the emergency room if your asthma attack is out of hand and not responsive to home care treatments or if you need urgent asthma care in the middle of the night. Here at Apt Urgent Care in Manvel, TX, our medical professionals have extensive training and experience in asthma treatment and can provide fantastic care for any asthma-related issue you encounter! We also offer extended weekday and weekend hours for your convenience!
Many different doctors can effectively treat breathing problems like asthma. Some of these doctors include family medicine physicians, internal medicine physicians, pediatricians, internal medicine pediatric doctors, pulmonologists, allergists, and others. You will likely want to see a pulmonologist or an allergist for more severe breathing issues or asthma flare-ups. However, for routine asthma checkups and treatment, a family medicine doctor specializing in internal medicine will do just fine! At Apt Urgent Care in Manvel, TX, we have physicians that are board-certified in family medicine and internal medicine who can take care of almost any non-life-threatening breathing problem you are experiencing.
An asthma clinic, or an urgent care clinic specializing in asthma treatment, provides both diagnostic and remedial care for asthma. As such, they will offer various diagnostic tests for asthma for individuals with asthma-like symptoms who have not yet been diagnosed with asthma, while also monitoring symptoms and providing treatment for those who have already received a positive asthma diagnosis.
The most common asthma diagnostic test is spirometry, also known as pulmonary function testing. With spirometry, the patient breathes into a tube connected to a spirometer, which measures the amount of air they exhale. Other asthma diagnostic tests include the following:
• Flow volume loops: measures how well the air passes from the patient’s upper airway to their vocal cords.
• Methacholine challenge: safe and controlled bronchoprovocation test that uses methacholine, which causes mild narrowing of a person’s airways, to test if a person has an asthmatic reaction or not.
• Chest x-ray: radiographic pictures are taken to analyze a patient’s lung for asthma.
