Asthma is a chronic medical condition where the bronchial tubes (in the lungs) become easily irritated. This leads to constriction of the airways resulting in wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and production of thick mucus.
The cause of asthma is not yet known but environmental triggers, drugs, allergies, exercise, infection and stress have all been implicated.[1]
