Asthma is an obstructive lung disease along with other conditions like bronchiectasis, COPD, and emphysema. With asthma, the lungs are unable to expel air properly during exhalation. Breathing may be difficult for a person with asthma, and common symptoms include wheezing (a whistling sound) when breathing out, coughing, and shortness of breath. Many people with asthma live with it as a minor nuisance, while other people struggle with the condition every day. The condition can lead to a life-threatening asthma attack too. However, a patient’s struggle can be relieved and asthma attacks may be prevented with professional support.
