What is asthma?
The disease involves inflammation of the bronchioles, ie the ducts that carry oxygen to the lungs, because of irritating stimuli found in the environment that is the case, mites, pollen, dust, smoke, hair animals, humidity, allergies to certain medications etc.
This inflammation produces narrowing of the ducts and thus blocks the airflow causing symptoms such as breathlessness, chest tightness, fatigue, symptoms of wheezing (whistling) while trying to breathe.
Types of asthma:
* Hereditary: is the most common.
