Asthma is a disease of airways. Airways are the pipe/tube-like structures through which you breathe. In asthma, airways get swollen and secrete a sticky substance called as mucus. Thus, the airway becomes narrow, and you find it difficult to breathe. Asthma is generally hereditary, which means it is passes through families. It does not spread from one person to other. It has nothing to do with how you were raised or your relationships or your social status. Asthma is treatable, and you can keep symptoms well under control.
