What are asthma symptoms?
Asthma symptoms can vary. You may find that you start to cough or wheeze, get short of breath, or have a tight feeling in your chest. Despite what many people think, wheezing does not always occur. In fact, coughing is the most common asthma symptom. What are the causes of asthma? Asthma can start at any age. Some people get symptoms during childhood which then disappear in later life. Others develop ‘late-onset’ asthma in adulthood, without ever having had symptoms as a child.
