Asthma is one of the most common chronic lung conditions, yet many people ignore early warning signs. Recognizing symptoms early can help you manage the condition and live without constant breathlessness.
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, making it harder to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing (especially at night), chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Common Triggers
- Dust, pollen, and animal dander
- Cold air and sudden weather changes
- Exercise without proper warm-up
- Respiratory infections
- Smoking or second-hand smoke
Treatment & Management
Asthma cannot be “cured,” but it can be controlled with inhalers, medications, lifestyle changes, and trigger management. Pulmonologists design personalized treatment plans that keep attacks at bay.
