Air borne allergens that are results of power plants, industrial wastes and heavy traffic emissions can cause asthma in both adults and children who are exposed to polluted air over a long period of time.

Also, allergens present in certain foods and chemicals in processed food can also induce asthma in certain people depending on the strength of the immune system. Knowing about the symptoms of asthma gives a better chance to prepare well to combat it and take preventive steps.

The most evident symptom of asthma is difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath. If this happens after exposure to dust and smoke or happens after eating particular food that is causing allergic reactions, it could be an early symptom of asthma. Tightness of chest is another common symptom, which could be a warning of an asthma attack. A tight feeling in lungs which makes breathing harder is more evident sign of an asthma attack. Other symptoms include:

•    Continuous coughing especially during nights and early mornings
•    Wheezing
•    Bronchial disorders
•    Infections and sinusitis

Sometimes, allergic reactions to certain medicines can also cause asthma in some people. Early detection of the symptoms will help rule out the possibility of the development of asthma, therefore recognizing the symptoms and consulting a doctor is important.
