Asthma is a chronic disease in which the airways in your lungs are always inflamed. When something triggers your symptoms, the airways become even more inflamed. This makes you cough and wheeze, because air cannot enter and exit your lungs easily. About 300 million people on Earth suffer from asthma.
One type of asthma is exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). This is when exercising and physical activity triggers the symptoms of asthma. Another type of asthma is occupational asthma. This is when somebody inhales things that are in the air at their job. There is also childhood asthma, which is just when any child has asthma. This is a really common disease. Most children who have it get it before they turn five years
