Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways in the lungs. People with asthma experience inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning.
Asthma can range in severity from mild to severe and can be triggered by a variety of factors such as allergies, exercise, cold air, or exposure to irritants like smoke or pollution. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed with proper treatment and medication.
