📋Overview
This condition causes the respiratory passages to swell and narrow, leading to recurring episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. These clinical symptoms often manifest as a persistent cough, which may become more frequent or severe during the night or in the early morning hours.
During these episodes, the bronchial tubes can experience bronchospasms and produce excess mucus, further obstructing the flow of air. The disorder is characterized by variable symptoms and persistent inflammation that can fluctuate in intensity over time.
