Allergic asthma is signified by the symptoms that are caused
by the allergic reactions. The alergic asthma is the
obstruction of the airways and inflammation which is partly
reversible with medications. Allergic asthma is considered
as the most common type of asthma and is believed to be
affecting over 50 percent of the 20 million asthma sufferers
in the world.
Symptoms: Most of the symptoms of allergic and non-alergic
asthma are similar like: coughing, wheezing, shortness of
breath or rapid breathing and tightness in chest. However,
the allergic asthma is caused through certain inhaled
allergens such as: dust mites, pet dander, pollen and mold
etc.
Causes: There are many allergens that are supposed to
trigger the alergic asthma like: coughing, wheezing, chest
tightness and so on. Cockroaches, dust mites, molds, pet
dander and pollens are also said to cause the allergic
asthma reactions.
Cold and flu trigger alergic asthma as the flu is the
infection of the respiratory caused by the influenza
viruses. Flu viruses are more dangerous than common colds.
Exercises: The asthma patients have irritated air passages
so exercises may immediately trigger their asthma reactions
more severely.
Emotions: Emotions and asthma are directly linked as there
are evidences that the emotions can affect the airways
caliber and trigger the asthma reactions.
Pollution: The research is yet on to establish that air
pollution has been associated with the higher dominance of
asthma reactions.
Sulfur dioxide: Sulfur dioxide inhalation may aggravate
chronic pulmonary ailments like asthma and may cause bronchospasm when exposed to sulfur dioxide preserved foods.
Aspirin: Aspirin is said to cause the body producing excess
amounts of the class of chemicals like leukotrienes.
Treatment: Besides usual asthmatic medications, the
background immune responses mediated by IgE are important in
the pathogenesis of allergic asthma reactions.
