Step 1 : Introduction to the question " The name of which disease comes from the Greek for “panting”? "
...
“Asthma" comes from the ancient Greek word meaning "panting". For some, an asthma attack feels as though an elephant is sitting on their chest, while for others breathing becomes so labored that it’s like trying to suck peanut butter through a straw. However, the real problem is not that you can’t breathe in properly, but that you can’t breathe out. If you can’t breathe out, no fresh air can get in. Asthma often develops in childhood or during the teens. People with other lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can also develop asthma. Although it’s not clear exactly what causes asthma, it’s thought to be triggered by an allergy or when the lungs are irritated by something in the air.
Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
