asthma is a chronic lung disease that

can cause breathing problems throughout

someone's lifetime when you have asthma

there is always a little swelling or

inflammation inside the Airways with or

without symptoms

your lungs react to things that may not

bother other people these are known as triggers

triggers

asthma can cause changes within the

airway all of which narrow the opening

making it difficult to breathe

a healthy Airway is clear with no

interior swelling and the muscle bands

around the Airways are not tight there

is no extra mucus air moves freely

through the open Airway

when you have asthma three main changes

can happen in your lungs if your asthma

is left untreated or poorly controlled

changes to the structure of the airway

may be permanent

one is swelling or inflammation this is

when the airway becomes small and

irritated when the airway becomes

inflamed it Narrows and it is hard for

air to flow through

another change that can occur with

asthma is extra mucous production which

clogs the airway making the opening even smaller

smaller

the Third change that can happen with

asthma is the tightening of the muscles

that surround your Airways called

bronchoconstriction this reduces the

opening even more

when someone with asthma comes in

contact with an asthma trigger such as

dust tobacco smoke or even when laughing

any one or all three of the airway

changes can happen this is known as an

asthma attack or episode all of these

changes contribute to the narrowing of

the Airways making it hard to breathe
