This inflammation makes them highly sensitive and reactive, to a number of allergic like smoke, fragrance, animal fur, dust etc. In reaction to allergic, airways get narrower and your lungs get lesser amount of air then required. This causes wheezing, coughing, chest congestion and suphocation, particularly early in the morning or at night.
