Asthma is a chronic condition that inflames and narrows the airways, making breathing difficult. While asthma symptoms vary, common triggers can worsen your condition if not managed effectively.
Allergens like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites are leading causes of asthma flare-ups. Airborne irritants, such as smoke, strong odors, and pollution, can also trigger symptoms. For some, exercise or cold weather can cause exercise-induced asthma. Stress and anxiety further exacerbate symptoms, as they can tighten airways and increase inflammation.
Recognizing and avoiding triggers is key to managing asthma. Use air purifiers at home, stay away from smoke, and consult your doctor about medication or inhalers for exercise-induced symptoms.
