- Asthmatic — Suffering from bronchial asthma or manifesting the clinical symptoms characteristic of this chronic respiratory disease (dyspnea, wheezing, coughing); (as an adjective) belonging to asthma, caused by it, or relating to the paroxysmal attacks of suffocation triggered by bronchospasm and airway inflammation.
- Asthma — A chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, characterized by bronchial hyperresponsiveness, clinically manifested by recurrent episodes of dyspnea (difficulty breathing), wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing, occurring especially at night or early in the morning. This condition causes a reversible narrowing of the bronchi under the influence of various triggers, such as allergens, physical exertion, or cold air.
- Astmatiform — Presenting symptoms, manifestations, or clinical features resembling those of bronchial asthma, without being true asthma. It is used in medical semiology to describe obstructive respiratory syndromes (such as expiratory dyspnea or wheezing) induced by other conditions, such as acute bronchitis, heart failure, or pulmonary viral infections.
