Asthma is an inflammatory disease in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. It makes breathing difficult and triggers a bout of coughing; a whistling sound and you may experience shortness of breath. For some people, Asthma is a minor inconvenience, but for others, it makes some physical activities challenging or even impossible. There is no cure for Asthma, but its symptoms can be controlled.
Asthma often changes over time, and thus you should work with your doctor to track your signs and symptoms and adjust your treatment as needed.
