Symptoms of Asthma

Asthma is characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Sputum may be produced from the lung by coughing but is often hard to bring up. Symptoms are usually worse at night and in the early morning or in response to exercise or cold air. It is important to spot these symptoms at a first stage either to stop development or to take safety measures:

Coughing, especially at night, during exercise or when laughing
