    Asthma is caused by exposure to allergens or irritants that trigger an inflammatory response in the airways. This leads to increased mucus production, swelling of the airway walls, and tightening of the muscles around the airways. Common symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Predisposing factors include atopy and female gender, while causal factors are exposure to indoor/outdoor allergies and occupational sensitizers. Contributing factors include respiratory infections, air pollution, and smoking.
