Asthma affects millions of people of all ages. It’s a chronic lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Awareness helps reduce attacks, improve care, and save lives.
Key facts
Asthma symptoms can be triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air, infections, smoke, pollution, stress, and certain medications.
Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. Severe asthma attacks require immediate medical attention.
Asthma is manageable with proper diagnosis, a written asthma action plan, trigger avoidance, and appropriate medications (long-term controllers and quick-relief inhalers).
Children, older adults, people living in urban areas, and those with limited access to care are at higher risk for poor outcomes.
