Reactive Airway Disease

Reactive Airway Disease is a clinical condition where the bronchial tubes in your lungs overreact to environmental irritants, cold air, stress, or recent viral infections. When exposed to a trigger, the air passages temporarily spasm and swell, producing symptoms that closely resemble an asthma attack.

Patients frequently experience sudden episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. Our pulmonary team performs thorough breathing evaluations to determine whether the condition is temporary or part of underlying asthma, creating a tailored treatment plan to calm hyper-reactive airways.
