What is Asthma?

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is the most common long-term disease of children, but adults have asthma too. Asthma causes repeated episodesof wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.
If you have asthma, you have it all the time, but
only have asthma attacks when something bothers your lungs.

We know that if someone in your family has asthma, you are also more likely to have it. In most cases, we don’t know what causes asthma, and we don’t know how to cure it.
