Diseases: Post 21-Asthma

Hey everyone! In this post, I will be talking about Asthma. Asthma is a condition in which a person's airways become, inflamed, narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus. That makes it difficult to breathe. Especially when the person is exposed to smoke. This disease is very common and requires a medical professional's diagnosis. Asthma can be treated by a medical professional and it can last for years through your lifetime. Lab tests and imaging are often required. When the symptoms of asthma act-up like coughing, difficulty breathing, chest pains, and wheezing, then that's when you can use a tool called an inhaler to help you breathe easier and relieve the symptoms. It is most common in the ages of 6-40. Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."
