(En español: Ataque de asma) Say: az-muh flare-up A person who
has asthma may go through times when he or she breathes just
fine or has only a little trouble. But when a person has a lot
of trouble with wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath, it's
called an asthma flare-up, or attack. Stuff like allergies, a
cold, cigarette smoke, exercise, or even cold air can trigger an
asthma flare-up.
