Exactly What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a respiratory condition during which the airways in your lungs become narrow and inflamed, making it difficult to breathe. When this happens, it’s described as an asthma attack. It’s common for people with asthma to experience an attack when they’re exposed to certain triggers, such as dust, pet dander, or even just cold air. In the Spring area, various tree and grass pollens are in the air practically year-round, and many of the asthma cases we treat at Medella Urgent Care are triggered by allergies.
When to Go to an Urgent Care Clinic for Asthma
If you or your child is having a severe asthma attack, it’s best to call 911 or seek immediate treatment at an emergency room. In addition to having severe shortness of breath, a person who’s experiencing an emergency asthma attack will probably be unable to talk normally and may have bluish lips or fingernails. These are signs of a life-threatening condition that requires ER treatment.

Whether you’ve just started having symptoms, you’re visiting the area and forgot to bring your nebulizer, or your current asthma medication is no longer providing you with the symptom relief you need, we can provide you with the expert asthma care you need.
