Asthma
Asthma is a respiratory disease (chronic inflammatory condition) characterized by wheezing, a recurring cough, tight chest as well as shortness of breath caused by restricted airflow. Asthma tends to worsen after a person engages themselves in strenuous activity i.e., exercising, walking up steep stairways, etc. An inhaler is usually prescribed to promote free airflow in the lungs and reduce chest tightness
