A doctor has provided 1 answer

Word games: Asthma is a condition where factors that try to close airways (protecting them from toxic exposures like gasses) or open to resume breathing are not in balance. Re-opening after a trigger is slowed & often needs help. Allergies are just one of the factors that can trigger the protective closing in some. Asthma is asthma. Triggers differ from person to person.
