Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows your lungs which make it hard to breath. This disease can cause you to cough, wheeze, have a short breath and tight chest. Millions of people have asthma, which doesnt suprise me at all because my brother has a mild case of it. I think that it is sad that asthma cant be cured, even if you feel fine and dont have symptoms for a while it can flare up again and you will always have the disease. Thats why I think its important for people with asthma to aklways carry an inhaler close to them just in case of an asthma attack.

ReplyDeleteAsthma is one of the many chronic diseases of the world. It's a lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. People with asthma have inflammed airways, making it hard to breathe. The coughing is the body's reaction to the blocked airways, trying to reopen the airways through the wheezing.

When the allergen is breathed in, the muscles around the airways tighten, causing the airways to narrow, and cut off the air flow, or lessen it. More mucus is generated, further narrowing the airways.

Asthma is a disease that affects a person’s breathing. When a person suffers from asthma, the airways in their lungs get smaller. This makes it harder to breathe. The combination of the muscles around the airways contracting, the walls swelling, and the excess production of mucus make for an asthma attack. Symptoms of asthma include: shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightening, and coughing. People with asthma are often given inhalers for help. The puff helps the airways to relax, allowing air to flow more normally in and out of the lungs. While there are treatments available asthma, there is no cure.
