Respiratory allergens: hidden triggers of asthma symptoms
Asthma symptoms can be made worse by certain triggers, known as triggers. Such triggers may include:
- Physical load
- Weather change
- Tobacco smoke
- Respiratory infections
- Reflux disease
But in allergic asthma, there is another, often hidden, factor at play: respiratory allergens. Did you know that 60-70% of adult asthma patients can also be allergic? The following allergens can aggravate symptoms and even trigger an asthma attack:
- Pollenek
- Pet hair
- Poratka
- Mould fungus
Steps to investigate: find out what is causing the symptoms!
To identify exactly which allergens are responsible for worsening symptoms, allergy test needed. The skin test involves dropping allergenic extracts onto the skin of the forearm and then making a small scratch. If swelling, redness and itching occur, this indicates the presence of an allergy to the substance.
Effective treatment for allergic asthma
If you are diagnosed with allergic asthma, joint treatment of asthma and allergies essential. This may mean modifying and supplementing anti-asthma medicines with anti-allergy medicines. A combination of inhaled steroids, bronchodilators, anti-allergy nasal sprays and tablets prescribed by your doctor can help to significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Tips to relieve symptoms: how can you minimise the impact of allergens?
Once allergens have been identified, it is important to take steps to reduce their presence in the environment:
- For pollen allergies:
- Wash your hair every night in season.
- Change the pillowcase more often.
- Keep your street clothes outside the bedroom.
- Against Poratka:
- Get rid of unnecessary dust traps (newspapers, soft toys).
- Keep your books in the living room.
- Vacuum at least once a week with a HEPA filter.
- Use allergen-free bed linen that can be washed at high temperatures (60-90°C). Wash bed linen weekly and sheets monthly.
- For pet allergies:
- Don't let your pet into the bedroom, preferably not even into the flat.
