Asthma symptoms vary but often include these key indicators:

Wheezing: A whistling sound when breathing, especially during exhalation.

Shortness of breath: Sudden or persistent difficulty catching your breath.

Chest tightness: A feeling of pressure or constriction in the chest.

Coughing: Often worse at night or early morning, disrupting sleep.

Mucus production: Thick phlegm that’s hard to clear from airways.

Symptom triggers: Exercise, allergens (pollen, dust), cold air, or stress worsen symptoms.
