ASTHMA in New Zealand

Chronic asthma occurs due to a hyper response of our airways to a stimulus, such as environmental allergens or antigens (not necessarily only pollution-related). This response leads to airway constriction (narrowing) from the contraction of the smooth muscle in our lung bronchioles. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and tightness of the chest.
