How asthma affects your lungs | Asthma + Lung UK

In this video, you can find out how asthma affects your lungs.
People with asthma often have sensitive, inflamed airways. They can get symptoms like coughing, wheezing, feeling breathless or a tight chest.
Asthma symptoms can come and go. Sometimes people may not have symptoms for weeks or months at a time. Asthma needs to be treated every day, even if you feel well, to lower the risk of symptoms and asthma attacks.
