How Are Lung Conditions Diagnosed?
At Tempe Primary Care, we start with a detailed health history and symptom review, then may recommend:
- Lung function testing (spirometry)
- Oxygen saturation monitoring
- Chest X-ray (via referral or local imaging center)
- Allergy testing
- Blood work
- Referral to a pulmonologist, if needed
We’ll work quickly to identify the cause and provide relief.
How Do We Treat Respiratory Conditions?
Treatment depends on your specific diagnosis, but may include:
Inhalers & Nebulizers
Bronchodilators and corticosteroids can open airways and reduce inflammation for asthma and COPD.
Antibiotics or Antivirals
For infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, or sinusitis.
Allergy Medications
Antihistamines or nasal sprays to control inflammation and allergic triggers.
Lifestyle Counseling
We’ll help you manage weight, quit smoking (if applicable), and avoid triggers like dust or smoke.
Monitoring & Maintenance Plans
Chronic conditions like asthma and COPD need regular check-ins to track lung function and adjust treatment.
What Is COPD?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive condition that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It’s most common in smokers or people exposed to pollutants over time.
With early diagnosis and the right care, patients with COPD can still lead active, fulfilling lives.
