Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Strive for control: The goal of asthma treatment is best lung function possible, least amount of symptoms (day, night, exercise) all on the least amount of medications. Hyperinflation can be seen with uncontrolled asthma with air trapping, but best evaluated with spirometry. An asthma specialist can help you achieve the goals.
