Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.

It may happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger.

Common asthma triggers include:

• allergies (to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example)
• smoke, pollution and cold air
• exercise
• infections like colds or flu

Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control.

Asthma is a long-term condition for many people, particularly if it first develops when you’re an adult.

In children, it sometimes goes away or improves during the teenage years, but can come back later in life.

The symptoms can usually be controlled with treatment. Most people will have normal, active lives, although some people with more severe asthma may have ongoing problems.

Although asthma can normally be kept under control, it’s still a serious condition that can cause a number of problems.

This is why it’s important to follow your treatment plan and not ignore your symptoms if they’re getting worse.

Badly controlled asthma can cause problems such as:

• feeling tired all the time
• underperformance at, or absence from, work or school
• stress, anxiety or depression
• disruption of your work and leisure because of unplanned visits to a GP or hospital
• lung infections (pneumonia)
• delays in growth or puberty in children

There’s also a risk of severe asthma attacks, which can be life-threatening.
