Asthma

Understanding Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways in the lungs, causing them to become inflamed and narrowed. This results in breathing difficulties that range from minor discomfort to severe, life-threatening emergencies. The condition's prevalence and impact on overall health underscore the importance of understanding asthma and its management.

Symptoms and Triggers of Asthma

Common symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. These symptoms can be triggered by various factors, including allergens like pollen or dust mites, respiratory infections, physical activity, and even changes in weather. Recognizing these triggers is a crucial element in the successful management of asthma.
