Asthma and Allergies

Hello All!

Today I want to talk about Asthma and Allergies. One of the most common triggers of Asthma is Allergies. With the Summer months coming you should remember that control of your allergies can help you with your asthma flares or episodes.

Looking for pollen highs and lows can help with this. Many people have problems with pollen. Mold and dust is another trigger. Symptoms to look for are:

1. Itchy/watery Eyes

2. Continuous sneezing and/or runny nose

3. hives

4. rashes that suddenly appear

Severe cases:

1. swelling of the throat

2. shortness of breathe

3. severe itching

If you experience these signs it is best to have them checked out by your physician.

Tune in next time when we have more valuable tips on Asthma and asthma related conditions.

Until next time!
Smiles,
Lisa
