What is Asthma?
Asthma, a chronic lung condition, makes breathing difficult. Inflamed airways and excess mucus narrow the passages, leading to symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound), chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.
These symptoms can vary from person to person, with some experiencing occasional mild episodes and others facing persistent struggles.
The good news is that asthma is manageable. Although there’s no cure, medication prescribed by your doctor can help keep your airways open, preventing flare-ups and allowing you to control your condition. Asthma won’t stop you from living a whole and active life with proper management.
Symptoms of Asthma
Chest Tightness
Asthma often causes a sensation of tightness or constriction in the chest, making it feel like it’s being squeezed. This can occur at any time but is frequently experienced during an asthma attack or physical exertion.
Shortness of Breath (Dyspnea)
Characterized by an inability to breathe, dyspnea is the most common trait among asthma patients. This shortness of breath can be sudden and severe, especially during or after physical activity or exposure to triggers.
Coughing
Asthma often triggers persistent coughing, particularly at night or early in the morning. Your cough can be dry or produce mucus and is usually exacerbated by physical activity or exposure to allergens.
Fatigue or Feeling Out of Breath
Asthma can lead to chronic fatigue or a constant feeling of being out of breath due to dyspnea. If left untreated, fatigue and the feeling of being out of breath can make your daily activities 5x more difficult.

Causes of Asthma
Any Type of Plant Pollen
Plant pollen is a common asthma trigger, especially during the spring and summer. When inhaled, pollen can cause the airways to become inflamed, leading to asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Airborne Dust Mite Particles
Dust mites grow in warm, humid environments and are found in household dust. Their microscopic particles can become airborne and, when inhaled, can provoke asthma attacks by irritating the respiratory system.
Cockroach Waste
Cockroach droppings and decomposing bodies can release allergens in the air, triggering asthma symptoms. This is particularly common in urban areas where cockroach infestations are more prevalent.
Mold
Mold spores, often found in damp or humid environments, are a potent asthma trigger. When inhaled, they can cause inflammation and constriction of the airways, which leads to asthma attacks.
