Asthma is a reactive airway disease. The lining of the bronchi and bronchiloli the smaller airways get inflamed and swell and the muscular lining of the airways spasm causing shortness of breath. It can be triggered by emotion and enviornmental allergens as well as other things like aspirating foreign objects (think little tiny bits of water etc). The cause of cystic fibrosis is a lack of a gene sequence that causes the airways to be clogged with thick gunky secretions. You can test for this disease now really easily so that you will not accidently give it to your kids. It also affects the sodium levels in the body and the ability to absorb nutrients. Kids with CF are constantly needing to have their lungs cleaned out by postural drainage (hanging upside down and being patted hard on the back or "percussed") and a one of my friends grandkids ended up with double lung transplants, one lived and one died. Another friend of mine managed to live to the age of 35 with the disease, though toward the end his ability to breathe was gone and he basically suffocated.
