Bronchitis & Asthma, Complicated at Central & Northeastern PA Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Asthma and bronchitis occur when the bronchial tubes, which carry the oxygen to your lungs, become inflamed. With asthma, the bronchial walls tighten, causing wheezing and difficulty breathing. Both conditions can be severe and persistent. Since asthma attacks are recurring, an important key to minimizing the effects of an attack is recognizing the signs when one is about to happen. Chronic bronchitis can be a very serious condition, can be a symptom of something worse, and can lead to pneumonia. If bronchitis persists for more than a month or recurs often, seek medical attention.
