While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason someone has asthma, it is generally accepted that a combination of environmental and genetic factors play a part. One of the common causes is the exposure to irritants or substances that cause allergies and asthma, though each person has different triggers. In addition, while some people experience a specific trigger exclusively in their work environment, others have multiple asthma triggers in their daily life. As for symptoms, the signs of living with asthma can vary from one individual to another. Some people may experience an asthma attack only when exercising, while others may have symptoms throughout the day. General asthma symptoms include:
In order to best treat asthma it is imperative that you continue long-term follow up assessments with your physician. In addition certain prevention steps can be taken to help control your asthma. Once you are able to identify your triggers with the help of a doctor, you can begin to avoid these causes.
