In normal breathing, the airways to the lungs are completely open. Air moves freely in and out. But in someone who lives with asthma, these airways swell and become inflamed. As the airways grow irritated and sensitive, they start to react to various asthma triggers, which are things that you are exposed to every day. 2

Besides having trouble breathing, a person with asthma experiences coughing and shortness of breath. You can feel as if something is tightening around your chest. You may make a whistling sound called wheezing as you inhale and exhale. 4
