Research Notes on Asthma

Asthma is a disease in which the airways in the lungs become inflamed and constricted. These airways become swollen and very sensitive. When pollen, pollutants, or other asthma-triggering substances are inhaled, the muscles around the airway passages tighten. This causes less air to enter the lungs. Sometimes, breathing may become so difficult that an asthma attack becomes life-threatening.1

Fast Facts:

  • Wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing are all symptoms of asthma.2
  • Narrowing of the bronchial tubes is referred to as bronchospasm.3
  • Treatment includes eliminating exposure to triggers, using medications for immediate relief, using medication for prevention, and seeking emergency care when necessary.4
