What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes swelling and narrowing of the airways, making it harder to breathe. Common symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing or whistling sounds when exhaling
- Tightness in chest
- Persistent coughing, especially at night or in the morning
Triggers vary from person to person, but many patients in Baton Rouge experience symptoms due to allergens like pollen, mold, dust mites, or pet dander, as well as irritants like smoke, cold air, or exercise.
Without proper treatment, asthma can lead to frequent flare-ups—or in severe cases, life-threatening attacks.
