What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common condition that affects your breathing, causing the airways in your lungs to become inflamed and narrowed. This inflammation makes breathing difficult and can lead to symptoms such as:
- Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing)
- Persistent coughing, especially at night or early morning
- Chest tightness or pain
- Shortness of breath during normal activities
Asthma affects over 5.4 million people in the UK, making it one of the most common long-term health conditions.
