Asthma

Asthma is a common disease and it affects close to 70 million in India. It generally occurs during childhood but can occur for the first time even in the old age. So what happens in Asthma? Asthma affects airways, the tubes carrying air in and out of the lungs. People suffering from asthma have sensitive airways which become irritated in some situations. The airways become narrow and sometimes produce more mucus than usual. This creates difficulty in breathing.

Asthma can run in families, but many people with asthma do not have relatives with the condition. Asthma cannot be cured! It can be controlled so that recurring attacks can be prevented. Most people with asthma who receive proper treatment (and follow medication promptly) can lead normal lives.
