Asthma

Asthma is a chronic medical condition that affects the airways, the small tubes that carry air to your lungs. When a person with asthma comes into contact with certain environmental factors, the walls of these airways become inflamed, narrow, and produce excess mucus. This makes it difficult for air to pass through, causing symptoms such as chest tightness, coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing), or shortness of breath.

Although there is no definitive cure for asthma, the good news is that it is completely manageable. Having asthma doesn't mean you have to stop doing the activities you enjoy; the key is to know your body, follow your treatment plan precisely, and learn how to prevent attacks before they start.
