Prana Health’s staff can perform breathing tests and in-house scopes, tailor an asthma education plan, and enroll your child in our state-of-the-art inhaler monitoring program. As we monitor the need for the inhaler, we will look for early signs of worsening asthma. This monitoring allows us to step in quickly and adjust medications when needed. Prana Health can provide pulmonary function testing starting at age three as well as respiratory education with air quality testing within the home.

Prana Health offers evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment related to diseases of the lungs. Some examples are asthma, cough, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD).

Children present symptoms for sleep apnea differently than adults. Some symptoms can be heavy breathing, restless sleep, coughing, or mouth breathing. Children will not usually snore loudly nor exhibit noticeable pauses in their breathing. Sleep apnea increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in children. It can also worsen seizures and affect asthma control. If left undiagnosed, the child’s brain cells can be greatly affected; causing a decline in their IQ more than lead poisoning.

Asthma can make breathing difficult due to inflammation in the airways. Children have smaller airways that can become easily inflamed when exposed to any triggers. Inhalation of pollen, a cold, allergens, exercise, or even seasons of weather can all be asthma triggers. Asthma interferes with day to day activities, sports, school, and sleep.

Organ damage could play a role. People who had severe illness with COVID-19 might experience organ damage affecting the heart, kidneys, skin and brain. Inflammation and problems with the immune system can also happen. It isn’t clear how long these effects might last.
