Asthma is a condition that affects over 300 million people worldwide and causes 250,000 deaths per year, where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, triggered by things like early infections, pollution, immune development issues, illness, exercise, stress, airborne irritants, allergies, and acid reflux. Treatments include new therapies and medications that are fast-acting for acute symptoms or long-term to control the condition.
