Understanding Asthma: Symptoms, Triggers, and Management Strategies

Asthma is a chronic condition that causes difficulty in breathing due to inflamed airways. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Triggers such as pollen, smoke, and exercise can worsen asthma. It is essential to recognize the asthma zones: green (good), yellow (caution), and red (emergency). Proper management includes using controller medications and relievers, staying calm during attacks, and avoiding triggers. Consulting with a healthcare professional is vital for effective asthma management.
