Bronchial Asthma is a common medical problem that can be managed with simple medications and life style modification in the majority of patients. The first step is a proper medical evaluation to correctly establish the diagnosis, as asthma symptoms are commonly encountered in other medical problems.

A proper medical evaluation is also very important to identify factors that can complicate asthma, these can be other medical problems, environmental or personal factors.

Asthma medications fall in two categories, controller medications that target the inflammation that causes asthma symptoms and medications to relieve symptoms.

The most commonly used Controller medications are inhaled steroids, which are quite safe when used correctly and the newer biological agents. However, changes in life style are very important, smoking cessation, exercise and healthy diet, play a pivotal role.
