What Is Asthma?
Lung disease asthma affects the lungs. It is a long-term disease that affects most children, but adults can also suffer from it. At night or early in the morning, asthma sufferers experience wheezing, breathlessness, tightness in their chest, and coughing. A person with asthma has it all the time, but an asthma attack only occurs if something upsets their lungs.
