Dr. Ashutosh Gupta, a pulmonologist, explained in his presentation that asthma is a disease in which a person’s airways become inflamed, narrow, and produce excess mucus, making it difficult to breathe. Asthma can be minor or interfere with daily activities. In some cases, it can lead to a life-threatening attack. Asthma can cause difficulty in breathing, chest pain, coughing, and wheezing. Symptoms can sometimes become severe.
