Asthma

Overview

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways in the lungs. In individuals with asthma, the airways become inflamed and swollen, making them more sensitive to certain triggers. When exposed to these triggers, the airways may constrict, making it difficult for air to pass through. This leads to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
