Nonallergic asthma - what does this mean

Nonallergic asthma is a type of asthma caused by environmental triggers such as cold air, exercise, smoke, and air pollution. it occurs when the airways become inflamed and constrict, reducing the amount of air flowing to the lungs and causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

What happens during the disease - nonallergic asthma

Nonallergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways caused by an exaggerated response of the immune system to environmental triggers. this response leads to bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and airway inflammation, which can lead to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing.
