Early Symptoms Of Asthma
These are classic signs and symptoms of asthma you should know:
Shortness of breath
This is a common lung problem that develops when you can’t get enough oxygen because of how the airways and their underlying muscles respond to asthma triggers, says Sadia Benzaquen, M.D., a pulmonologist and professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine.
The inflammation and narrowing of the airways cause obstruction to the inhaled oxygen. This forces your lungs to expand and take in more oxygen – causing you to breathe rapidly and forcefully.
