Asthma is defined as the ancient Greek word meaning
'panting or short drawn breath'. It is an allergic condition resulting from the
reaction of the body to one or more allergens, and is the most troublesome of
respiratory diseases.
An Asthma patient gets frequent attacks of
breathlessness, in between which he may even be completely normal. Asthma is a very common respiratory
disease, it affects the trachea and bronchial tubes by becoming inflamed and
plugged with mucus.
This
causes the airways to narrow, restricting the normal amount of air going to the
lungs, and makes it very difficult to breathe. Asthma can occur in anyone but is very common in children and young
adults.
