The exact cause of asthma is unknown, but it is believed to be a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. In individuals with genetic susceptibility, exposure to triggers can lead to:

• Airway inflammation: Immune system overreaction causing swelling and irritation of the airways.
• Hyperresponsiveness: Airways become sensitive to triggers, resulting in narrowing even with mild exposure.
• Increased mucus production: Excess mucus clogs the airways, further hindering airflow.

• Wheezing: High-pitched whistling sound during breathing, especially when exhaling. 
• Chest tightness: A sensation of pressure or squeezing in the chest. 
• Shortness of breath: Difficulty catching your breath or feeling winded, even during minimal exertion. 
• Cough: Often dry and persistent, worse at night or early morning. 
• Fatigue: Chronic fatigue or reduced energy levels. 
• Trouble sleeping: Frequent nighttime awakenings due to asthma symptoms.
