People with asthma have very sensitive airways that are constantly on the verge of over-reacting to asthma triggers. It doesn't take much for the airways to become inflamed, constricted, and filled with fluid. The constriction (think of wring a rag dry) is the narrowing of the bronchial tubes that leads to the bronchial tree. Making breathing very difficult.
