About the Disease & Condition

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways of the lungs, causing inflammation and narrowing of the air passages. This leads to difficulty in breathing, particularly during asthma attacks or exposure to triggers. Asthma can develop at any age and varies in severity from person to person. Although it cannot be cured, asthma can be effectively managed with proper treatment, avoidance of triggers, and regular monitoring. With good care, people with asthma can lead active and healthy lives.
