People with asthma have Allergic airways that cause Wheezing and cough in response to certain “triggers”, leading to difficulty in breathing. The air- way narrowing is caused by inflammation and swelling of the airway lining, the tight- ening 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 wheez- ing after exertion.
