Airway constriction
The muscles around the airways contract when the air passages come into contact with specific triggers of asthma. The compression of the airways makes the air passages narrower. It also makes you feel tightness in the throat. Many say it feels like their chest is tied with a cord. Mucus may be trapped in the restricted airways, causing further breathing problems.
Now, we have discussed two primary causes of asthma – let’s have a look at what factors or triggers contribute to developing asthma by causing inflammation and constriction of the airways.
