Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asthma is a condition in which the airways narrow-usually reversibly-in response to certain stimuli. Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath that occur in response to specific triggers are the most common symptoms. Doctors confirm the diagnosis of asthma by doing breathing (pulmonary function) tests.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asthma is an inflammation and obstruction of the bronchial tubes – the passages that allow air to enter and leave the lungs. During an asthma attack, the muscles that surround the bronchial tubes constrict, narrowing the air passages and making it extremely difficult to breathe.
