Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease that makes lungs harder and affects the airways that carry air to and from the lung which leads to swelling or inflammation of the airway wall. This swelling or inflammation makes the airways extremely sensitive to irritations and increases your susceptibility to an allergic reaction. As inflammation causes the airways to become narrower, less air can pass through them, both to and from the lungs which makes difficult to breathe. Thus the patience suffers from symptoms like wheezing (a hissing sound while breathing), chest tightness, breathing problems, and coughing.
