Bronchial asthma is a chronic condition affecting the airways in the lungs, leading to inflammation and narrowing, which makes breathing difficult. Asthma can range from mild to severe and may worsen over time if not treated properly.
Warning!
Asthma attacks can be severe and require immediate medical attention, as they can cause difficulty breathing, wheezing, and sometimes respiratory arrest, which can be life-threatening.

Symptoms occur occasionally and are mild, and manageable with inhaled medications.
