Understanding Asthma + Breathing Control 

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways and can make breathing difficult during flare-ups. Symptoms may range from mild and occasional to more frequent or disruptive, depending on individual triggers and overall respiratory health.

Pulmonary Associates of Dothan serves patients throughout the Wiregrass region, including Dothan, Enterprise, and surrounding communities. We work with patients to better understand their symptoms and develop care plans that support consistent breathing control.

Common asthma symptoms

• Wheezing 
• Shortness of breath
• Chest tightness
• Chronic coughing, especially at night or with activity
• Symptoms triggered by allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections

How we can help

Asthma care may include reviewing symptom patterns, identifying triggers, monitoring lung function, and adjusting medications as needed. Our goal is to help patients reduce flare-ups, improve day-to-day breathing, and maintain long-term control.

When to seek care

If asthma symptoms interfere with sleep, daily activities, or require frequent use of rescue medication, it may be time to consult a specialist.
