What is Asthma?

Asthma is a long-term condition that affects your breathing by making the airways in your lungs swollen and sensitive. When exposed to certain triggers—like dust, pollen, exercise, or cold air—the airways can tighten and produce extra mucus. This makes it harder for air to move in and out, causing breathing difficulties.

Common Asthma Symptoms

Asthma symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may appear daily, weekly, or only occasionally. Common signs include:

  • Wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe)

  • Chest tightness or pressure

  • Shortness of breath

  • Frequent coughing, especially at night or early morning

Anxiety is common and treatable. It can affect anyone and shows up differently for each person. Treatment may include therapy, medication, self-care, or support groups. At iVisitDoc, we help you find what works best for your needs and lifestyle.

Asthma is manageable with the right care. Avoiding triggers, following your treatment plan, and using prescribed inhalers can keep symptoms under control so you can live an active, healthy life.

Is Pay-per-Virtual visit right for you?

  • You are between 18–64 years old, or your child is between 2–11 years old

  • Diagnosis: You or your child have a previous asthma diagnosis

  • Current treatment: The current asthma medication is effective and does not need adjustment

  • Symptom control: Asthma symptoms are well-managed and stable

  • Verification: You can upload an image of your or your child’s current prescription label for verification

⚠️ Important : If you’re having severe shortness of breath, wheezing that won’t stop, or your rescue inhaler isn’t providing relief, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Understanding Asthma : Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Asthma is a chronic lung condition that causes the airways to become inflamed, swollen, and narrowed, making it harder to breathe. This can lead to wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath—especially during flare-ups.

iVisitDoc Care & Access

With iVisitDoc, you can connect virtually with licensed healthcare providers for asthma evaluation, prescription renewals, and ongoing management. Our clinicians can review your symptoms, adjust medications if needed, and help you control triggers—all from home.

You’ll need:

  • A prior asthma diagnosis

  • A stable treatment plan that’s working well

  • Controlled symptoms (no recent flare-ups or hospitalizations)

  • A photo of your current prescription label for verification

  • Refill: You’re continuing an existing prescription authorized by your doctor.

  • Renewal: A provider reviews your condition and issues a new prescription, often after the old one has expired or run out of refills.

If your symptoms require an in-person exam or testing, your iVisitDoc provider will explain why and help direct you to a local clinic or emergency care, if necessary.

Yes, follow-up messaging is available for clarifying treatment plans or discussing minor concerns related to your visit. For new or worsening symptoms, schedule a new consultation.

All data is protected using HIPAA-compliant encryption. Your health records and messages are secure and accessible only to authorized healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Asthma Care for Children

Yes. Licensed pediatric or family healthcare providers can evaluate your child’s asthma symptoms, refill medications, and provide care plans for ages 2 to 17, depending on state rules.

Yes. A parent or legal guardian must be present during the visit for minors.

Your child will see a pediatrician, family nurse practitioner, or physician assistant experienced in treating childhood asthma through telehealth.

  • Wheezing or persistent coughing

  • Rapid or difficult breathing

  • Chest tightness

  • Fatigue or trouble speaking in full sentences
    If these symptoms become severe or don’t improve with medication, seek emergency care immediately.

Diagnosis often involves reviewing symptoms, medical history, and lung function tests (like spirometry). In younger children, providers rely on symptom patterns and treatment response.

Treatment includes:

  • Inhaled medications (controller and rescue inhalers)

  • Trigger management (avoiding allergens, smoke, etc.)

  • Education for families on medication use and symptom tracking

Some children experience fewer symptoms as they grow, but asthma can return later in life. Continuous management helps minimize long-term effects.

About Asthma Treatment

Asthma is considered well-controlled when you:

  • Have symptoms less than twice a week

  • Sleep through the night without coughing or wheezing

  • Rarely need your rescue inhaler

  • Can do normal activities without shortness of breath

Seek emergency care if you have:

  • Severe shortness of breath or wheezing that won’t stop

  • Blue lips or fingertips

  • Difficulty speaking

  • No relief from your rescue inhaler

Diagnosis is based on symptom history, a physical exam, and lung function tests to measure airflow and airway responsiveness.

Severe asthma is a form that remains difficult to control even with high-dose medications. It often requires advanced treatments, such as biologic therapies or specialist care.

Common options include:

  • Inhalers (controller and rescue)

  • Leukotriene modifiers

  • Anticholinergics

  • Biologic medications for severe cases

  • Lifestyle and environmental management

If your symptoms are rare, sleep is undisturbed, and you’re not relying on rescue medication often, your plan is working well. Your provider may use follow-up visits or tracking tools to assess progress.

  • Using an air purifier

  • Staying active with warm-up exercises

  • Monitoring air quality

  • Managing stress, which can worsen symptoms
