Why do I have asthma?
What should I do if I have asthma?
tiny tubes in your lungs called
airways that carry air in and out of
your body. If you have asthma
your airways are almost always
inflamed (red and swollen). When
these inflamed airways come into
contact with an asthma trigger
(things like pets, tobacco smoke
and pollen) they become narrower
making it harder to breathe.
What does asthma feel like?
If you have asthma you may find
that:
you cough
your chest feels very tight
you get short of breath even
when you are not exercising
you wheeze (make a whistling
sound from your chest) when you
breathe in and out
Everybody's asthma is different.
Some kids have very mild asthma
and hardly ever get any
symptoms. Other children may
have more severe asthma that
means they have to take time off
school or even go into hospital. If
you are having difficulty with your
breathing you should go to see
your doctor who will be able to tell
you whether you have asthma.
