Symptoms
Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs and the airways. Hallmarks of asthma are chronic inflammation and narrowing of the small airways leading to episodic wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Initially these symptoms are reversible, but as the inflammation progresses the narrowing due to the airway walls thickening becomes permanent resulting in chronic shortness of breath.
Asthma affects over 22 million Americans and about one third of the sufferers are children. Allergens, Irritants, pollutants, respiratory infections, and exercise can all trigger asthma symptoms. The recognition of such triggers, early diagnosis, and treatment of asthma can be life changing, allowing patients to lead normal, symptom-free lives, even to include competing in sports on the highest levels.
