Asthma Signs and Symptoms (Cont.)

Causes of Asthma Signs and Symptoms

Individuals with asthma signs and symptoms have sensitive airways that are affected by certain triggers that bring on these symptoms. A trigger is something that causes irritation to the airways.
 
Common triggers include exercise, dust mites, smoke, pollen, or even catching a cold. Cold, dry air generally causes asthma symptoms to be worse than warm, humid air.
