It's best to be examined by your doctor to find out what your symptoms really mean. Signs of asthma include: a cough which is usually dry, chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. Attacks can last from a few minutes to days or even weeks. No one knows why airways become sensitive in the first place, but once they are, a number of things can pro- voke an asthma attack. If you happen to be allergic to something and breathe it in, it will cause the airways to constrict. But you don't have to have allergies to have asthma or have asthma to have allergies.

It's divided into two main areas - limiting exposure to the things that provoke an asthma attack and medications to treat it. There are two Categories of medications.
