Is It Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic lung disease.
When you have asthma, problems with the airways inside
your lungs can make it hard to breathe. The two main components
of asthma are:
- Swelling and irritation inside
the airways (also called inflammation)
- Tightening of the muscles around
the airways (also called bronchoconstriction)
Asthma symptoms may include cough, wheezing, shortness
of breath and chest tightness. These symptoms may occur
during the day or night. If you have asthma, it's with
you all the time, even if you are not having symptoms.
