INTRODUCTION

For my essay I plan to dive into the history of asthma, how it came to be known as we know it today, how technology has helped diagnose so many cases in the past few years, and see as to why the number of cases is so high

Asthma has been studied for centuries with research on the topic being dated all the way back to Ancient Greese. It can be described as a condition that causes inflamation in the lung's airways with symptomes such as coughing, weezing, tightness in the chest, and a feeling of breathlessness. This condition has several catalysts. Some of them being allergies, air polution, obeisity, past medical history, other medical conditions, and genetics. There are several different methods to diagnose this condition and there are even more ways doctors have found to treat it

Questions: - Why have the number of asthma diagnoses been rising in the past several years? - How has the improvement of technology led to the diagnosis of these patients?
