Asthma

Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the airways in the lungs. In people with asthma, the airways can become inflamed and narrowed, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms may come and go and can vary in severity from person to person.

Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Symptoms may be triggered or worsened by factors such as dust, pollen, smoke, air pollution, respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, or other individual triggers.

Asthma can usually be managed with appropriate treatment, regular follow-up, correct use of prescribed inhalers, and by identifying and managing personal triggers. With proper management, many people with asthma can stay active and maintain a good quality of life.
