šš« Can Fall Allergies Trigger Asthma?
Yesāfor some people with allergic asthma, fall allergens can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms.
And in North Texas, āfallā doesnāt necessarily mean allergy season is winding down.
Ragw**d pollen is a common fall allergen, while mold and other environmental triggers may also contribute to symptoms. For someone with allergic asthma, exposure to an allergen can affect more than the nose and eyesāit may also trigger inflammation in the airways and make asthma symptoms harder to control.
Pay attention if fall allergy symptoms are accompanied by:
š« Increased coughing
š« Wheezing
š« Chest tightness
š« Shortness of breath
š« Coughing during or after exercise š« Nighttime coughing
š« Reaching for a rescue inhaler more often
