What contracts in an asthema attack?

During an Asthma attack, the airways become inflamed and constricted, leading to difficulty breathing. The muscles around the airways contract, and excess mucus is produced, further narrowing the passage. This results in symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Prompt treatment with bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory medications is essential to relieve the attack and restore normal airflow.
