Definition(s)

  • Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with variable airflow obstruction that reverses either spontaneously or with treatment and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to a range of triggers such as tobacco smoke, cold air, exercise, and strong emotion. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough that are usually more pronounced at night and in the early morning.
