Asthma: A disorder affecting the airways of the lungs. People with asthma have Allergic airways that cause Wheezing and cough in response to certain “triggers”, leading to difficulty in breathing. The airway narrowing is caused by inflammation and swell- ing of the airway lining, the tightening of the airway muscles, and the production of excess mucus. This results in a reduced airflow in and out of the lungs. You may be waking up at night coughing or wheezing after exertion. Why suffer; today’s treatments may permit you to breath and live much better.
