The lung\u2019s airways carry air in and out of the lungs. In people suffering with asthma, the muscles in their airways can become constricted and swollen, allowing less air to pass through. Symptoms of asthma can include: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheezing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trouble breathing <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tightness in the chest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic coughing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of asthma most commonly occur in reaction to various allergens, irritants, activities, and surroundings. These triggers can cause a flare-up of symptoms, also called asthma attacks. These triggers can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergens, such as animal dander, dust, mold, pollen, or cockroaches <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritants, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, or sprays (hairspray, disinfectant spray, etc.) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical activity <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sulfites in foods or drinks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in weather<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult-onset asthma can be triggered by allergies. Other triggers include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extended exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke or work materials<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hormonal fluctuations in women, which can happen during and after pregnancy or menopause<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain illnesses (such as a cold or the flu) <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asthma can re-appear if you suffered with asthma as a child. In fact, people who suffered from asthma when they were younger experience more severe symptoms when developing adult-onset asthma. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact cause of asthma is unknown, and there is no cure. But, when properly treated, asthma can be maintained. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Asthma Treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors who specialize in asthma work with patients to help control their symptoms. Since everyone experiences asthma differently, doctors will prescribe different medications and create different plans to fit each individual&#8217;s symptoms and triggers. Prescription asthma medications come in two types: long-term control and short-term control. Long-term control medications help prevent asthma symptoms while short-term medications give instant relief from symptoms. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Asthma ?
