What is Asthma ? (also called Bronchial asthma)
Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell
and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger
coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of
breath.
For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. For others, it
can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening
asthma attack.
Asthma can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled.
Because asthma often changes over time, it's important that you work with your
doctor to track your signs and symptoms and adjust your treatment as needed.
