About Asthma
Asthma is a common inflammatory disease that affects airways and makes it difficult for the sufferer to breath. It is characterized by recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm. Asthma symptoms include shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. Asthma’s direct cause is unknown, but researchers think it may be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
