Dr. Javier Hiriart, Pediatrician at Family Medicine Center at West Kendall Baptist Hospital explains with a bio digital imaging how the asthma development occurs.

Catching a cold, cold air or a perfume, for example, starts to change natural breathe process, because the patient gets the trigger for smooth muscle in the airways to kind of start to constrict and get the bronchospasm, the specialist affirms.

Before puberty it is most common to see asthma in boys and girls, but in adulthood it is most common to see it in women than men. “There is no real reason for that,” says Doctor Hiriart.
