Primary Care

Asthma testing is an important part of preventive care that helps diagnose and manage respiratory symptoms before they become more serious. It typically involves a review of medical history, a physical exam, and breathing tests like spirometry to measure lung function. Early detection allows for personalized treatment plans that can improve daily breathing, reduce flare-ups, and support long-term lung health.

What Is Asthma Testing and Why Is It Important at Garduño Family Medicine in Plano, TX?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. At Garduño Family Medicine, we offer comprehensive asthma testing to accurately diagnose and manage this condition. Evaluation may include a review of symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests such as spirometry to measure lung capacity and airflow. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for creating an effective treatment plan, which may include medication, lifestyle adjustments, and environmental control strategies. Our goal is to help you breathe easier and maintain long-term control of your asthma with proactive, personalized care.
