For most people with asthma, symptoms are occasional. That means you do not experience them all the time. However, when asthma flares up, the main symptoms of asthma are:
– Shortness of breath
– Wheezing
– Coughing
– Tightness in your chest
The common triggers for asthma are things you can breathe in such as:
– Air pollution such as pollutants from car exhausts
– Pet dander (hair, fur or skin cells)
– Dust mites, mould or damp
– Pollen
– Household cleaning products
– Cigarette smoke
However, some people may find their symptoms get worse when they are unwell, during the winter, when they exercise or that their asthma is affected by the weather.
