asthma attacks

An asthma attack occurs when the airways in your lungs become inflamed and swollen, causing them to narrow. This results in symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. Triggers such as allergens, exercise, or irritants can set off these attacks. During an attack, less air can flow freely in and out of the lungs, making breathing difficult. Treatment typically involves quick-relief inhalers that relax airway muscles and reduce inflammation. Managing asthma involves avoiding triggers and using medications regularly to keep symptoms under control and prevent attacks.
