Asthma and lung nodules may seem like totally separate topics — but both are more common (and misunderstood) than you might think. In this episode of The Med Edit Podcast, pulmonary and critical care specialist Dr. Ximena Solis returns to break it all down.

We explore:

• What asthma really is and how it changes your lungs
• Typical vs. atypical asthma symptoms
• Common triggers and risk factors you might not expect
• Diagnosis and treatment strategies based on asthma severity
• New research on GLP-1 medications for asthma control
• An inside look at bronchial thermoplasty
• The facts about lung nodules — including whether they’re usually cancerous
• What happens next if a lung nodule is found on imaging

Whether you’re managing asthma, supporting someone who is, or curious about your lung health, this conversation is packed with practical insights.
