Anda Penderita Asma karena Alergi?
You're already familiar with asthma and its symptoms: coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. The type of asthma you have depends on what triggers your symptoms. If they are triggered by your body's reaction to year-round allergens in the air, you may have allergic asthma. This is the most common type, affecting more than 60% of Americans with asthma — 10 million adults and children.
An allergic asthma attack can occur when you inhale allergens and your body's immune system responds by making too much of a substance called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). This causes chemical reactions that tighten and swell your airways, making it harder to breathe and potentially leading to an asthma attack.
If you have allergic asthma, it's important to find out what allergens trigger your symptoms so you can avoid them as much as possible. Some of the most common ones include: dog and cat dander, dust mites, molds, and cockroach droppings.
Is Your Current Treatment Enough
Some patients have difficulty controlling their allergic asthma even though they take their medicine (including inhaled steroids) and try to avoid their triggers. If this sounds like you, you may need additional therapy.
