Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the bronchial tubes, which are the air passages that lead to the lungs. In individuals with asthma, the bronchi become inflamed and hyperresponsive, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. During an asthma attack, the muscles around the bronchi tighten, causing further narrowing of the airways and making breathing more difficult. Effective management of asthma often involves medications that reduce inflammation and relax the bronchial muscles.
