The Prevalence of Allergic Asthma



Asthma affects more than 20 million Americans. Of that number, about half have asthma that is triggered by various types of allergies. The symptoms of allergic asthma are the same as other types of asthma: wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. The attacks can be severe for a person who is exposed to the particular thing that he is allergic to. Because of this, it is a good idea to work with your doctor in determining what you are allergic to and how that allergy affects your asthma symptoms.

In some cases, learning the triggers for your asthma can be the cure for your symptoms, since you might be able to easily avoid the particular item that you are allergic to. In many other situations, the allergic reaction might be in response to something that you cannot avoid, such as dust mites or airborne pollen. In these cases, you and your doctor may need to look at treating your allergies as a way of treating your allergic asthma.

Allergies that can Trigger Allergic Asthma

There are many, many potential allergens in our world. Some are found outdoors, and others live right inside our homes with us. One of the most common allergies that can trigger allergic asthma is animal dander. Allergies to animals can take up to a year or two to develop after the animal has been brought into the home, and can last for up to six months after the animal is removed. Dust mites are another big trigger for allergic asthma. If this is your trigger, you may feel your symptoms after vacuuming your house or making your bed.



Pollen also affects many people, and may be the culprit if you notice an increase in your allergic asthma symptoms at particular times of the year. Indoor molds can wreak havoc on you when you are in basements or damp rooms. Most of these triggers, while common, are difficult to treat through avoidance. You may need to work with your doctor in treating your allergies with medications in these instances. With severe cases, your doctor may recommend immunotherapy as a means for treating your allergies.

Asthma can be a frightening illness to deal with at times. If you suffer from allergic asthma, the first key in treatment needs to be identifying the triggers that cause your asthma symptoms. Once you know how your asthma flare-ups begin, you are on the road to gaining control of your asthma. Control and effective maintenance leads to less asthma symptoms and more peace of mind in regards to dealing with your disease.
