Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing them to become inflamed, narrowed, and filled with mucus. This inflammation makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Asthma can be triggered by various factors including allergens, air pollution, cold air, exercise, and respiratory infections. While the severity of asthma varies from person to person, it can range from mild to life-threatening if not properly managed. Although there is no cure for asthma, it can be effectively controlled through a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and avoiding known triggers. Regular monitoring and working closely with healthcare providers help individuals lead active, healthy lives. Education and awareness are also key to managing asthma and reducing its impact on daily life
