Mixed asthma - what does this mean

Mixed asthma is a combination of both allergic and non-allergic asthma, which occurs when a person is exposed to both allergens and non-allergen triggers such as cold air, exercise, or irritants like smoke. symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. treatment typically involves avoiding triggers, taking medications, and using an inhaler or nebulizer.

What happens during the disease - mixed asthma

Mixed asthma is a type of asthma that is caused by a combination of both allergic and non-allergic triggers. allergic asthma is triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander, while non-allergic asthma is triggered by environmental irritants such as smoke, pollution, and cold air. both types of triggers cause inflammation of the airways, resulting in airway narrowing, increased mucus production, and difficulty breathing. the combination of these two triggers leads to more severe asthma symptoms and a more difficult to manage condition.
