Asthma
Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. For others, it can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack.
Causes
- Exposure to tobacco or wood smoke
- Breathing polluted air
- Inhaling other respiratory irritants such as perfumes or cleaning products
- Exposure to airway irritants at the workplace
- Breathing in allergy-causing substances (allergens) such as molds, dust, or animal dander
- An upper respiratory infection, such as a cold, flu, sinusitis, or bronchitis
- Exposure to cold, dry weather
- Emotional excitement or stress
- Physical exertion or exercise
- Reflux of stomach acid known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD
- Sulfites, an additive to some foods and wine; and menstruation. (In some, not all, women, asthma symptoms are closely tied to the menstrual cycle.)
