Description |
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that is characterized by difficulty in breathing due to airway inflammation and constriction caused by sensitivity to a variety of environmental triggers. Triggers include cold or dry air, dust, pollen, pollution, cigarette smoke, stress, or physical activity. Exposure to a trigger causes the airway to produce excessive mucus, and the muscles around the airways to tighten. Triggers are not the same for all people with asthma. |
