Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs, causing inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This makes it difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Asthma can affect people of all ages and approximately 1 in 13 Americans have this condition.
Asthma triggers, such as pollen, exercise, viral infections or cold air, can worsen symptoms and lead to asthma attacks. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed with proper treatment and an asthma action plan. This may include monitoring symptoms, avoiding triggers and using medications as prescribed.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) provides resources such as asthma guides, tip sheets and other educational materials through the Learn More Breathe BetterĀ® Asthma program to help individuals better understand and manage their condition. By learning more about asthma and following a treatment plan individuals with asthma can live healthier lives.
