What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes breathing difficulties. It occurs when the airways become inflamed, swollen, and produce extra mucus, making breathing difficult.

Types of Asthma

1. Allergic Asthma: Triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, mold, or pet dander.

2. Non-Allergic Asthma: Triggered by infections, stress, weather changes, or strong odors.

3. Exercise-Induced Asthma: Breathing issues caused by physical exertion.

4. Occupational Asthma: Caused by workplace irritants like chemicals or dust.

Common Causes & Triggers

• Environmental factors: Pollution, smoke, strong odors.

• Allergens: Pollen, dust mites, mold, animal dander.

• Respiratory infections: Colds, flu, bronchitis.

• Exercise or cold air exposure.

• Stress and emotional factors.

Symptoms of Asthma

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.

• Wheezing (whistling sound while breathing).
