Famous People With Asthma

Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchitis. Symptoms include episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It can be a debilitating disease, however many athletes, entertainers and just "plain ole folk" have managed to cope with life and careers while suffering from asthma. Unfortunately some of the people here have died as a result of this disease.
