What are asthma and allergies?

Asthma and allergies are two distinct chronic health conditions. Asthma
Asthma is a lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airway in the lungs, making it hard to breathe.
Asthma is common and affects everyone differently. However, it requires ongoing medical monitoring and care to manage breathing and prevent asthma attacks. Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system attacks a generally-safe substance it mistakenly considers harmful. The immune system response triggers the release of chemicals that cause allergy symptoms like an itchy nose, watery eyes, or hives.
Some allergies trigger a life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

Why do asthma and allergies occur together?

It’s not uncommon for people with allergies to also suffer from asthma. Asthma has many triggers, including irritants that cause allergies like pollen, pet dander, and food. When your allergies trigger your asthma symptoms, you have allergy-induced asthma.
What can I expect during an asthma and allergy consultation?
You can expect a patient-centered evaluation when you visit Acupuncture Health Services for an asthma and allergies consultation.
