Allergic asthma symptoms

Discussing asthma we can look at two forms of Asthma. There is allergic asthma and non-allergic asthma. Both are still asthma and the asthmatic still suffers the same type of asthma attack. However, it's the way the asthma is triggered that makes the final decision about whether the asthma is triggered or classified as an "allergic asthma" or "non- allergic asthma". Several studies discuss the connection between people with Allergies and Asthma. As with "Asthma Treatment" the best method for treating people with allergic asthma is avoiding those"Asthma Triggers" or allergens which may launch your body into an asthma attack.



People suffering with allergies which are exposed to conditions where their allergies are affected will most likely suffer an asthma attack stemming from the reaction to their allergies. I read somewhere that people living in the U.S. suffering from asthma are typically diagnosed as having allergic asthma. This is common and people that are considered an allergic asthmatic is based around the conclusion that their asthma attack would not have been triggered if they would have been treated for their allergies prior to or in conjunction with their "long term asthma treatment". The other factor besides "allergens" to initiating an asthma attack could be something as simple as an asthmatic who has physically exerted themselves or the asthma attack was started because of exercise or some other strenuous activity.



Although I have discussed in other posts that their are two forms of Asthma treatment. Treating asthma for people with allergies will also fit into either of the two categories asthma treatment categories. Short term asthma treatment and long term asthma treatment. This treatment depends on how severe your allergies are. Hopefully, your not like me and suffer from allergies year round. I also suggest people with asthma that seem to notice that their asthma only acts up during a certain time of the year I would recommend these asthmatics see an "allergy specialist"



Why see an allergy specialist? I suggest this on the basis of the results that you will receive from a "scratch test" that the allergist will perform. As I stated prior, I suffer from allergies year round. I could understand when my allergies flared up in the spring or fall. However for the life of me I could never understand why they flared up during the winter. I found my answer after meeting with an allergy specialist. I was highly allergic to molds and dust. Living in an area where it is winter 8 months out of the whole year now made sense why I still suffered from allergies.

Non-Allergic(intrinsic) asthma
As the phrase alludes too.. asthma is for non-allergic asthmatics is not linked to allergies, the asthma attacks mostly stem from issues such anxiety, cold air, dry air, smoke viruses or other irritants. This basically leads to the asthmatic to other symptons and most likely can be identified if the asthmatic has kept track of their history of asthma and when their asthma attacks hoave occured.
In order to help prevent these asthma attacks or decide how to treat asthma we have to revisit and identifiy what the asthma triggers are before we can be sure whether the asthma attack stemmed from an allergic or non allergic reaction. Still in the end the focus always shifts back to long term asthma treatment versus long term asthma treatment. Yet, non of these treatment options can be used if we can not figure out what triggers our asthma attacks.
