Asthma (Allergy and Asthma)

A chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems usually triggered by allergens (infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors may also be triggers).

Asthma (Canine)

A chronic respiratory disease, often arising from allergies, that is characterized by sudden recurring attacks of labored breathing, chest constriction, and coughing.

Asthma (Carpet)

A condition marked by recurrent attacks of difficult or labored breathing and wheezing resulting from spasmodic contraction and hyper-secretion of the bronchi resulting from spasmodic contraction and hyper secretion of the bronchi resulting from exposure to allergens such as drugs, foods, or environmental pollutants or intrinsic factors.

Asthma (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

Asthma (Eczema)

Airway disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems. People with asthma have acute episodes when their air passages in their lungs get narrower and breathing becomes more difficult. Sometimes, asthma attacks are triggered by allergens, but infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors are also important triggers.

Asthma (Emergency Health Care)

A chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems usually triggered by allergens. Infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors may also be allergic triggers.

Asthma (Environment)

Asthma (Immunization)

A chronic medical condition where the bronchial tubes (in the lungs) become easily irritated. This leads to constriction of the airways resulting in wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and production of thick mucus. The cause of asthma is not yet known but environmental triggers, drugs, food allergies, exercise, infection and stress have all been implicated.

Asthma (Medical)
