The condition known as allergic asthma is triggered when a person inhales and allergen. The allergen may be pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, or any other allergen that can create an allergy symptom.
\nWhenever some people inhale the allergens, their tubes located in their lungs inflame and swell. That restricts air flow, which in turn leads to the symptoms of allergic asthma.<\/p>\n
People who suffer from allergic asthma have their symptoms triggered when they breathe in an allergen. People who suffer from non-allergic asthma can have their symptoms triggered when they breathe in an allergen and also:
\n\u2022 When they have high anxiety levels
\n\u2022 When they are frightened
\n\u2022 When they over exert themselves physically
\n\u2022 When they have a virus
\n\u2022 When they catch a cold
\n\u2022 When the air is extremely cold<\/p>\n
Doctors often have a hard time distinguishing between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and asthma are inflammatory lung conditions. It can be hard to decide if the patient has COPD or asthma, or both conditions. Often the two conditions overlap each other.
\nPeople who smoke cigarettes and people who had severe asthma when they were children are far more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder than other people.<\/p>\n
When people who suffer from allergic asthma encounter an allergen they may:
\n\u2022 Develop a shortness of breath
\n\u2022 Begin to cough
\n\u2022 Wheeze when they breathe
\n\u2022 Feel a tightness in their chest. Some people say this tightness feels as if someone has wrapped a band around your chest and is slowly pulling the two ends of the band together creating pressure like you are being squeezed.
\n\u2022 Difficulty sleeping<\/p>\n
The number one treatment for allergic asthma is the discovery of the allergen that triggers the problem so that the patient may avoid the allergen when possible. It is not always possible to avoid all allergens that trigger allergic asthma.
\nInhalers are usually prescribed for the patient to use in emergency situations. Often the person does not know they have encountered their allergen until they begin to have the trouble breathing. The rescue inhalers open the airways allowing the person to breathe more freely.
\nMedications to reduce allergic responses will help to minimize the severity of the asthma attack.<\/p>\n
People who suffer from allergic asthma recommend the following.
\n\u2022 Always have a rescue inhaler with you. Keep one with you or keep one at your desk, at home, in your car. Especially when you travel. You are more likely to need a rescue inhaler when you travel due to unexpected allergen exposure
\n\u2022 Know your triggers and avoid them when possible. If you are allergic to pet dander try not to stay places that have indoor pets
\n\u2022 Take your allergy medicines as prescribed, not just when you are having a severe attack. When the physician writes a preventative prescription take it exactly as it is prescribed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
