What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways, causing them to become inflamed and narrow. This makes it difficult to breathe and can lead to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Asthma is a common condition that affects people of all ages, but it often starts in childhood. It can vary in severity, with some people experiencing mild symptoms that are easily controlled, while others may have more severe and frequent asthma attacks.

While there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. With proper management, most people with asthma are able to lead active and fulfilling lives.
