Common triggers for asthma attacks

The control of an acute asthma attack is paramount to the treatment of asthma. Understanding common asthma triggers is one of the most important factors in controlling acute asthma attacks.

Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways, characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways. Chronic inflammation causes the airways to narrow, making it difficult for air to move, which in turn manifests in symptoms.
Asthma is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from person to person. Asthma currently does not have a definitive cure, but if you follow the doctor's instructions, the patient can completely control the disease.

Triggers of acute asthma attacks are usually divided into two main categories, that is, allergens (specific agents) and irritants (nonspecific agents).
2.1 Allergies Common allergens include:
Seasonal pollens House mites, house dust mites, mold or pets Smoking, tobacco smoke, Detergents, deodorants, perfumes, etc. .. Certain foods, such as eggs, fish, soybeans, etc. Certain industrial chemicals or additives. 2.2 Irritants Common irritants include:

Asthma is a localized disease, so it's often related to allergies (although not everyone with allergies gets asthma). The majority of young asthmatics are sensitive to at least one allergen. Smoking: Cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke have the potential to trigger acute asthma attacks, and asthma can worsen smoking- and tobacco-related illnesses. Stress: Stress and a number of other emotional states, such as joy, excitement, sadness, anger, ... can trigger an acute asthma attack.
