Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Asthma is condition where there will be hyper responsive by treacheo bronchial tree following exposure to an irritants.
The irritants may be microorganisms, food, dust, mites, pollen and chemicals, exposure to any of these to which you are very sensitive will stimulates the muocosal cells of respiratory tree to release histamine and causes narrowing of the bronchioles and produces the symptoms of asthma.
If you are able to identify the triggering factor which is causing these symptoms, you can avoid those and prevent the occurrence of the episodes.
You can identify the allergens by undergoing skin prick test and find out the allergen and try to avoid them.
Thank you.
