What you need to know about asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease that causes such symptoms as wheezing, coughing, tightening of the chest, and shortness of the breath. There are several different types of the disease one being allergy induced asthma. I was diagnosed with this condition in 2003. My home state of Connecticut is the most prevalent in regards to asthma cases. The chief cause of symptoms is tree pollen which peaks between late March through late August. Sufferers can take several environmentally conscience steps to control symptoms in addition to taking medications as prescribed. One such step in using the air conditioner. Doing so helps circulate the air indoors which can be just as dangerous as outdoor air quality and will also eliminate mold spores. Please check out my Examiner page to read further.
