Breathing issues can develop suddenly or worsen over time due to asthma, allergies, infections, or environmental irritants. Quick evaluation helps ensure proper oxygen flow and prevents complications.

Common symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath or difficulty taking deep breaths
• Wheezing or whistling sounds while breathing
• Chest tightness or pressure
• Persistent coughing, especially at night or with exercise
• Feeling lightheaded or fatigued due to limited airflow
