Asthma

Asthma is a chronic (long-term) condition that affects the airways in the lungs. The airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the airways can become inflamed and narrowed at times. This makes it harder for air to flow out of your airways when you breathe out.

Asthma cannot be cured but with appropriate treatment it can be well-managed. Everyone with asthma can live a full and active life, symptom free.
