Asthma

The symptoms of asthma include recurring periods of shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing. A doctor's help and regular checkups are critical, but the INS says there are also steps you can take to avoid triggering an asthma attack. Irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution and workplace dust can trigger an asthma attack, and so can viral upper respiratory infections. Allergens from dust mites, animal fur, mold and pollens from grass, flowers or trees can also worsen symptoms. Stress can be a factor, and so can sleep apnea.
However, every person is different, which means that some allergens might trigger an asthma attack for one sufferer but not another. That's why you can find dozens of leading brands of products and home equipment at Allergy Be Gone.
