Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways, potentially causing them to become inflamed and narrowed. This can lead to wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. But for others, it can interfere with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack.
Because asthma often changes over time, it's important to work with a doctor to identify triggers, track symptoms, and adjust treatment as needed.
