Each respiratory has its own set of symptoms, however, there will be similarities between many of them due to the fact that they all originate in the lungs. Knowing what symptoms to watch for can help your doctor determine what could be causing you to have the symptoms and determine what tests to send you for.   ● Asthma can cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and a dry cough. ● COPD comes in two different forms that have their own unique symptoms. Emphysema makes you feel short of breath, while chronic bronchitis causes excess mucus making it hard to breathe. ● Lung Cancer can cause you to cough up blood, make harsh breathing sounds, change your voice, and suffer from chronic coughing. ● Pneumonia causes difficulty breathing, phlegm or mucus brought up from coughing, feeling tired, having no appetite, and can cause fever or chills.   Talk to our team of healthcare professionals at Express Health Urgent Care today about treatment options for asthma treatment.  For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.
