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.

Some of the most common ones include: dog and cat dander, dust mites, molds, and cockroach droppings. Is Your Current Treatment Enough Some patients h...
