What triggers your Asthma?

I guess this may of been done before, but I'm curious, what triggers your asthma?

Mine;

Stress

very cold air

very warm air

being ill (cold, flu etc)

Pet hair (especially dog)

Side effects of having developed asthma;

Alergic to pet hair - brings me out in a rash, and get hayfever type symptoms.

Alergic to washing up liquid - gotta wear marigolds now, lol.

Please copy and paste the 2 lists above and add yours to it. Be interesting to see.

Thanks

Meady boy!

Pollen, hot / windy weather, cold air (but the heat is worse), dust, dust mites, chlorine, exercise... which I manage by taking ventolin and atrovent prior to execising.

All the above only triggers my asthma mildly..

The worse for me are reflux and colds/flu

[Hidden]

I came up with the slightly mad idea of putting a proper teepee (sp) in the back garden therefore removing the HDM problem. I might be getting a wee bit obsessed with HDM's though.

Hold up Elephant the 1st grass pollen hit that happens ar roughly the time they start to cut for haylige (sp) started back when we had that lovely bout of warm weather a couple of weeks back. People are still cutting grass etc but the 1st hit and the one that normally really really gets people is over. Don't stop taking your anti-histamines.

Hi Wendy,

""on heavy days i vibrate from salbutamol shakes. I get tired VERY easy""

That's something that i got occaisionally, the shakes but normally after several nebs and I also get very very tired after an attack so i can sympathise with you very much.

[Hidden]

I think its interesting to see what sets our asthma off.

Mines mostly:

* Colds & viruses - think i've got mone on the way!!!

* Stress - Normally brought on by thinking i've got a cold/virus coming.

Thats pretty much it!!
