asthma symptoms flare up in certain situations.
Airway constriction
Airway constriction can cause you to feel tightening in your chest.
The muscles around the airways of your lungs tighten. This
tightening is often called "bronchoconstriction," and it can make it
very hard to breathe.
Inflammation
This is the cause of asthma symptoms you probably do not feel. If
you have asthma, the airways of your lungs are always inflamed, and
they become more swollen and irritated when asthma symptoms
worsen. Inflammation can reduce the amount of air that you can take
in or breathe out. In some cases, too much thick mucus is produced,
which further obstructs the airways.
