» Asthma is a chronic
condition of the lungs that has two main components. Two things
happen inside the lungs of women suffering with Asthma—constriction,
the tightening of the muscles surrounding the airways, and
inflammation, the swelling and irritation of the airways.
Constriction and inflammation cause narrowing of the airways, by a
combination of muscle spasm, mucosal swelling and bronchial
secretion with symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness,
or shortness of breath.
