Asthma (pronounced AZ-muh) is described in the book “Essential Allergy”, by Mygind, Dahl, Pedersen, and Thestrup-Pedersen as “A lung disease characterised by: 1. variable and reversible airway obstruction; 2. airway inflammation; and 3. bronchial hyper-responsiveness.

If you have asthma,  do you know the difference between its causes and triggers?  You should — because your breathing may depend on it.
