Asthma is a chronic condition that makes breathing difficult for millions of Americans – young and old. In addition to a GERD connection, other factors are known to play a key role in the development of asthma:
👉 Genetics – it tends to runs in families. If your mom or dad has asthma, you’re more likely to have it, too.
👉 Allergies – you’re also more likely to develop allergies if your mom or dad has/had them. Certain allergies are linked to people who get asthma.
👉 Respiratory Infections – as the lungs develop in infancy and early childhood, certain respiratory infections have been shown to cause inflammation and damage the lung tissue. This damage can have a long-term, even lifelong, impact on lung function.
👉 Environment – contact with allergens, certain irritants or exposure to viral infections as an infant or in early childhood when the immune system is developing have been linked to developing asthma. Irritants and air pollution may also play a significant role in adult-onset asthma.
