adult asthma

Adult asthma is a chronic condition where the airways in the lungs become inflamed and narrowed, making it difficult to breathe. This inflammation causes symptoms such as breathlessness, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Triggers like allergies, infections, exercise, smoke, or pollution can worsen symptoms. While asthma can't be cured, it can be effectively managed with medications and avoiding known triggers, allowing many adults to lead normal, active lives. Proper diagnosis and treatment help control inflammation, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life.
