Asthma

Asthma is an allergic condition that causes bronchospasms.
Asthma is believed to be hereditary.
During an asthma attack, the patient experiences difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and expectorating due to constricted airways.
Asthma attacks are characterized by periods of symptom-free intervals alternating with attacks.
Asthma attacks can be triggered by various factors such as hot, cold, or wet weather, pollen, dust, sunlight, cold water, flowers, fruits, vegetables, milk, and even emotional stress.
Asthma can cause weakness and inability to perform physical activities.
Sleep and rest can be difficult due to the fear of triggering an attack.
Asthma medications provide temporary relief by dilating the constricted airways but do not cure the condition.
