Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the airways, causing recurring episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It is characterized by an abnormal response to various stimuli, such as allergens, irritants, and respiratory viruses, which triggers the airway muscles to constrict and the airway walls to swell. This causes airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms. Asthma can be triggered by various factors, including allergies, respiratory infections, acid reflux, and environmental factors such as pollution and dust which will be seen in detail below.  Treatment at Asthma Hospital in Vijayawada for asthma usually involves a combination of medications, such as bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers and staying physically active.
