The asthma may happen due to inflammation, or some allergies, like dust. It tightens the muscles of the airways, which makes breathing hard. Chronic bronchitis is more serious.

<h3>What is asthma?</h3>

Asthma happens due to the presence of mucus in the airways. As the mucus fills the space of airways, the air can't enter and exit properly to the lungs. Hence, a person feels suffocated as not enough oxygen is reaching every organ of the body. It may happen due to dust, inflammation in the airways, or other allergies. A person sneezes and feels tight in the chest for a long time.

In chronic bronchitis, the symptoms can be seen for a long time. This is a more serious condition. It may cause pneumonia in the lungs, heart failure, etc.

Hence, asthma can be a short-term problem, but chronic bronchitis has a severe effect on the lungs
