What triggers asthma attacks? If you have asthma, then shouldn’t you know the answer?
Asthma is a chronic lung condition characterized by difficulty in breathing. People with asthma have extra sensitive and/or hyper-responsive airways. During an asthma attack, the airways become irritated and react by narrowing and constricting, causing increased resistance, and obstructing the flow of the air passages to and from the lungs.
The words “trigger factors,” and “triggers” of asthma are used to describe the things that can cause an attack in someone who already has asthma.
Many things can bring on, or trigger, an asthma attack, and the causes and triggers vary greatly from person to person. Dogs and cats cause attacks in some people. While for others, cold air, tobacco smoke, exercise, and even laughing can trigger attacks. Some people with asthma report that the asthma attacks are worse when they are upset, under stress, or anxious. Some people get asthma if they take aspirin or other painkillers, and some get asthma from fumes or dust at work.
