Allergy Induced Asthma

 "Asthma Symptoms Can Be Triggered By Inhaled Allergers..."

One of the keys to asthma control is to eliminate the triggers that promote allergic asthma attacks. 

Here is an allergy induced asthma game plan:

 Dust/dust mite allergy

In extreme cases get rid of rugs, carpet and extra pillows. You can avoid dust mites by using mattress and pillow coverings.

Down comforters or pillows harbor dust and mites, don't use them. It is important to wash sheets and blankets in hot water weekly. Clean and vacuum the living environment often.

 Animal fur

You may have to avoid pets entirely as animals with fur are often asthma triggers. Keep pets outside if you cannot avoid them completely.

 Allergies/hay fever

Follow your doctor's orders carefully and always take your antihistamines and other allergy medications as prescribed. See an allergist if the allergies are a significant trigger for your asthma attacks.

 Allergy Induced Asthma and Cold air

Cover your mouth and nose with a scarf to warm the air you breathe.
 
 Upper respiratory infections

Avoid flu shots without the approval of your doctor. Frequent hand washing can help to prevent colds. No sharing of food, drinks or eating utensils. Use your asthma inhaler at the first sign of coughing or wheezing.

 Smoke or odors

Avoid tobacco smoke, scented soaps and detergents. Perfumes or cologne can trigger an asthma attack.

 Exercise

Before exercising use the medicines prescribed by your doctor to help prevent attacks. Keep medication with you when exercising, ready for use at the first sign of an asthma attack.

When allergy induced asthma is under control, the airways are clear and air flows in and out of your lungs freely. When not controled, your airways become constricted and inflamed, causing increased mucus production that further obstructs the airways.

During an allergic asthma attack, a lower volume of air is able to pass in and out of the lungs.  That will cause coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged coughing (for more than 10 days after a cold) can also be a symptom of asthma. Coughing may be the only symptom that you experience and it should not be ignored.

Understanding and avoiding triggers is your first line of defense against allergy induced asthma. The proper medicines and therapy will allow you to keep your symptoms under control. By eliminating triggers you can learn to live comfortably with your asthma.
