Understanding Asthma: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Relief in Newport Beach
If you or a loved one are struggling with persistent coughing, shortness of breath, or wheezing, you may be dealing with asthma—one of the most common chronic conditions affecting both children and adults.
At MG Allergy in Corona Del Mar, we specialize in advanced, in-office asthma diagnostics and personalized treatment plans, helping you breathe easier with fewer medications and more confidence.
What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation of the airways. This swelling can narrow the air passages, causing:
Wheezing
Shortness of breath
Chest tightness
Chronic cough, especially at night or during physical activity
Asthma affects people differently—some have occasional symptoms, while others experience frequent flare-ups.
What Causes Asthma?
Asthma has a complex mix of genetic and environmental causes. You're more likely to develop asthma if you have a family history of asthma or allergic conditions. But even without a genetic link, environmental triggers can cause or worsen asthma symptoms, including:
Allergens: pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold
Irritants: smoke, pollution, perfumes
Respiratory infections
Exercise and cold air
Can Asthma Be Cured?
While asthma has no cure, it can be successfully managed—often with minimal medication when guided by a specialist. Many patients lead active, symptom-free lives with proper diagnosis, trigger management, and up-to-date treatment.
