Asthma Triggers
are things that can irritate airways and lead to an asthma flare-up. Some common triggers are:
- allergens,
including microscopic dust mites present in house dust, carpets and
pillows; animal dander and saliva; pollens and grasses; molds; foods;
medications; and cockroaches.
- breathing in cold air
- exercise
- weather changes
- irritants, including but not limited to: smoke, air fresheners, aerosols, paint fumes, hair spray, and perfumes
- viral infections, including the common cold and the flu (influenza).
Identifying triggers and symptoms can take time and good detective
work. But once patterns are discovered, some of the triggers can be
avoided through environmental control measures.
