Asthma
Breathe Better, Live Healthier
What Is It
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes the airways to become inflamed and narrow, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms can include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, often triggered by factors such as allergens, smoke, exercise, or respiratory infections.
What It Does
When triggered, it causes symptoms like shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing. The airways become more sensitive to irritants like allergens, pollution, or even stress, leading to difficulty in breathing. Asthma attacks can range from mild to severe and, if unmanaged, can limit daily activities and impact overall quality of life. With proper treatment, most people with asthma can manage their symptoms effectively.
