What Causes Asthma Attacks?
There are multiple types of asthma, and the symptoms can vary according to what type you have. Some people experience mild symptoms consistently, while others notice that symptoms come as asthma “attacks” after exposure to triggers like:
- Air pollution
- Mold
- Pet hair
- Dust mites
- Tobacco smoke
Common Asthma Symptoms & When to Call 911
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 25 million Americans live with asthma. Common asthma symptoms include:
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness
- Coughing
- Trouble speaking
- Rapid breathing
- Difficulty sleeping
Most of the time, asthma symptoms can clear up with help from an inhaler or from medical professionals at a center like PhysicianOne Urgent Care. However, if you experience shortness of breath or wheezing that rapidly worsens or shortness of breath after very mild physical activity, be sure to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
