Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Triggers can vary from person to person and may include allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke, cold air, exercise, and respiratory infections. Management strategies typically involve avoiding triggers, using prescribed medications such as inhalers or oral steroids, and developing an asthma action plan with a healthcare provider. Regular monitoring and adjusting treatment as needed can help individuals with asthma lead active and fulfilling lives while minimizing symptoms and exacerbations.
