Hello Doctor,
Does family history increase asthma likelihood?
Answered by Dr. Syed Ibrahim Ali Shah
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, certainly. A family history of asthma increases the likelihood of developing the condition. Asthma can run in families, indicating a genetic predisposition to the condition. If you have a family history of asthma, it is important to be aware of the potential increased risk and take appropriate measures to monitor your respiratory health. Regular check-ups with a healthcare professional can help in early detection, management, and prevention strategies tailored to your specific situation.
Thanks
