What Is Asthma?

A long-term inflammatory condition affecting the lungs’ airways is asthma.

Symptoms like as coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest, and trouble breathing are usually present.

It can happen a few times a week or multiple times a day, depending on the individual.

Air travels through the airways to your lungs as you breathe. The lungs have several airways that carry oxygen to the cells.

The lining of these airways swells and the surrounding muscles contract, narrowing the airway inside the lungs.

Mucus eventually fills the space, which narrows the airflow passage even further.

This disease is characterized by breathing obstruction, persistent coughing, and tightness in the chest.
