Is asthma a chronic lung disease?

I've been told I have 'mild' asthma, but sometimes I struggle to breathe during physical activity. Is asthma specifically a chronic lung disease, affecting only the lungs?

Yes, it is a chronic lung condition. Managing my thyroid has taught me that long-term issues require regular monitoring and doctor visits. Don't ignore it; regular follow-ups will keep your lungs healthy.

Yes, asthma is a chronic lung disease. To save time and avoid sudden medical leaves, get a clear asthma action plan from your doctor and keep your daily preventer inhalers handy.

Yes, it is a chronic lung disease. Apart from taking doctor's medicines, a simple, practical tip is to wear a mask in heavy traffic and dust to prevent sudden breathing trouble.

Yes, it is a chronic lung condition. While my grandmother suggests warm turmeric milk for chest congestion, we must always rely on a doctor's proper inhaler prescription for managing asthma safely.

Yes, it is chronic. I ignored my early breathing issues for months, which damaged my stamina badly. Please don't make my mistake and get a proper lung function test done by a doctor immediately.
