In non-allergic asthma is usually brought on by nervousness,
tension, a burst of cold air or hot dry air, exercising,
smoking, or other inhaled irritants. The symptoms are the same
but it is not caused from an allergy.
Asthma is a hereditary condition, but just because one or both
of your parents have asthma does not necessarily mean you will
also have asthma. Many with no history of asthma also can have
this condition. It can be triggered by a cold, exercise,
allergies, etc…
Asthma can be treated in two different forms one with and
inhaler and one in pill form. Inhalers are considered to be the
quick cure. This will relieve the symptoms and the person will
be able to breathe normally in just a few minutes. The long term
controllers are of course pills. The pills are normally
anti-inflammatory medications that can keep control of the
inflammation in the airways to the lungs.
There is no way to prevent asthma
but you can lead a very normal life by doing as your physician
suggests.
