During an asthma attack, the muscles around the airways tighten, the lining of the airways becomes swollen, and more mucus is produced, which further blocks the airways. This makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.
