Asthma trigger

[faithhope421]

what do you find that trigger your asthma .it seem like stress can trigger episodes for me ,do anyone else have this same experience

Stress and anxiety can be triggers for me, along with allergies. I also just learned that reflux can cause asthma symptoms.Quick story: my daughter, asthmatic, was having trouble breathing, especially with remote learning stress. Breathing test showed her lungs were good, but her vocal chords were tight. This is what she was feeling - vocal chord disfunction. Inhalers help a little bit not enough. The key was to relax and let the anxiety go. Good luck!

For sure. I think it intensifies any illness and maybe it can be a leading factor for some people. I have allergies. I live in Florida where there is no relief from them ever. I'm allergic to most trees and grasses and also indoor dust mites. Trying to find the right meds. I take Singulair (Montelukast) and Flonase and Claritan. Was on Symbicort as a controller but my allergist felt it was not working enough as my lung function was still below normal. I just switched to Trelegy. I think its better but I still cough a lot. Not sure my lung function is really improved yet or not. They want me to try Xolair but I'm reluctant yet to try a biologic.

I have so many factors, I have acid reflux and also sleep apnea which are all being treated. I never had allergies like this until I moved to Florida full time. Unfortunately moving is not an option as my work is here.

Stressing over feeling unwell is a double edged sword right? Plus with Covid and everything we are all under more stress.

I am so very tired of coughing and coughing. I am getting to the point where I do wonder if I could qualify for disability and just retire and move to Arizona or Nevada. Hang in there. I totally get it.
