Each breath is a victory over asthma's challenges.

Chronic respiratory disease called asthma can affect the airways in the lung. The condition causes irritation and narrowing of airways, which can cause a range of manifestations like difficulty breathing, wheezing breathing difficulties, chest tightness and coughing. Asthma symptoms range from moderate to extreme and change in intensity with time.

Causes of asthma: While the exact cause of asthma is not fully understood. However, it is considered to result from genetic and environmental triggers. Individuals with a family history of allergy or asthma are likelier to suffer from asthma. Exposure to allergens, irritants, respiratory infections and respiratory infections in the early years of childhood can be a contributing factor to the formation of asthma.
