What Is Asthma Exacerbation? Asthma exacerbation is another term for an asthma attack in which the bronchial tubes through which air flows to the lungs suddenly tighten and become constricted. This makes it extremely difficult to breathe, resulting in an asthma exacerbation. There are many things that can trigger an asthma exacerbation and quick treatment is necessary to prevent a medical emergency.
A answered. Asthma affects the body by limiting the flow of air into the lungs. When certain substances trigger an asthma attack, cholinergic receptors in the airways respond by tightening the muscles. This process is called bronchoconstriction. It triggers a sequence of reactions in the body, which contributes to increased inflammation and mucus secretions. An asthma attack -- or an asthma exacerbation -- can be very frightening. You may cough, have difficulty breathing, or feel a shortness of breath.
