About the disease & condition

Asthma and other respiratory disorders affect the airways, making breathing difficult due to inflammation, narrowing, or obstruction. Common conditions include asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD, and allergic respiratory reactions. Triggers such as allergens, smoke, infections, or environmental pollutants can worsen symptoms. Patients may experience shortness of breath, wheezing, and persistent coughing. Early diagnosis and proper management are essential to prevent complications, improve lung function, and maintain quality of life. Treatments include medications, lifestyle modifications, and breathing exercises.
