Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition where the airways narrow and swell, leading to difficulty breathing. It can be triggered by allergens, infections, exercise, or stress.
Symptoms:
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing
- Tightness in the chest
- Difficulty breathing during physical activity or at night Treatment:
- Inhalers (bronchodilators) provide quick relief during an asthma attack.
- Long-term control medications (e.g., corticosteroids) help manage chronic symptoms.
- Identifying and avoiding triggers is an important part of asthma management.
