People with asthma have asthma all the time, even if they can't feel it!

​

Three things happen in the lungs when someone has asthma:

  1. The airways become swollen

  2. The swelling causes mucus

  3. The muscles around the airways tighten

​

This makes it hard to breathe and causes asthma symptoms.
