We live just because we breathe. Breathe is the ultimate thing which proves our existence. But many of us take it for granted. But only a person who is suffering from asthma can understand its true importance. If you suffer from any breathing problems it leads to all sorts of conditions, like bronchitis and asthma. 
Asthma can be life-threatening and is cause for serious concern.So let's check out some of the basic information about the disease.

What Is Asthma?
Asthma is the breath problem in which, when the airways get irritated, they become narrower and very sensitive, causing a long-term lung disease called asthma. Even the minutest irritant can trigger asthma as the airways are already inflamed. Also, excess mucus is produced, which may further constrict your airways and cause difficulty in breathing,
wheezing, and also a tightness in the chest.

Types Of Asthma
Asthma can develop due to different reasons and under different conditions. The various types of asthma, are listed below:

-Allergic Asthma: Allergens in the environment can cause allergic rhinitis. When this leads to asthma, it is called allergic asthma.

-Exercise-induced Asthma: When physical exertion leads to asthma, it is called exercise-induced asthma. The airways begin to constrict usually between five to 20 minutes of starting the exercise.

-Cough-variant Asthma: With coughing as the main symptom, this type of asthma is usually triggered by respiratory infections and exercise.

-Occupational Asthma: When the asthma is triggered only in your work surroundings, it is called occupational asthma. Animal breeders, farmers, hairdressers, and woodworkers are some of the common professionals who develop this type of asthma.

-Nocturnal Asthma: Symptoms of asthma are aggravated during the night and can turn out to be very dangerous.
