Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, causes the breathing tubes in the lungs to swell, narrow, and produce extra mucus, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. While most asthma attacks can be managed with treatment, severe attacks can result in fatal asphyxiation and respiratory failure.
