Asthma is one medical condition that can cause severe complications in COVID-19 patients. Extra precautions is essential for such patients.Tackling an asthma attack effectively, especially in COVID-19 positive patients, is crucial in saving lives. Asthma, a condition that constricts the airways carrying air into lungs, can not only make it hard to breathe but can often lead to wheezing, chest tightness, breathlessness and coughing.

Respiratory viruses can trigger and worsen asthma symptoms and if a person has uncontrolled asthma, they may develop or face severe COVID symptoms. Uncontrolled asthma can mean that there will already be inflammation in the lungs and airways will be compromised. So in many cases, Covid may even lead to pneumonia, fibrosis (thick and stiff lung walls) or other intense respiratory diseases.Â
