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.

Nonallergic asthma - Prevention
Nonallergic asthma can be prevented by avoiding triggers such as allergens, irritants, and environmental pollutants, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and using medications such as inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonists as prescribed. additionally, maintaining good indoor air quality through proper ventilation and air filtration can help reduce the risk of developing asthma.
