Allergies and asthma: They often occur together
Who's at risk of allergic asthma?
A family history of allergies is a major risk factor for allergic asthma. Another risk factor is having hay fever or other allergies. More than one out of every four people who have hay fever also develops asthma.
Is all asthma caused by allergies?
Though allergic asthma is the most common form of asthma, there are other forms and triggers of asthma, including exercise-induced asthma and nonallergic asthma triggered by infections or cold air or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some people have asthma triggered by more than one type of trigger.
Take charge: Keep symptoms under control
If you have bothersome allergy and asthma symptoms, talk to your doctor about treatment. Recognizing the relationship between the body's immune system and how the airways react has led to improved treatment of asthma symptoms for many people.
Knowing your triggers, taking steps to avoid them, and working with your doctor to find the right treatment to manage your symptoms will help keep both your allergy and asthma symptoms under control.
