Allergy specialists have shed light on the intriguing link between allergies and asthma, suggesting that these two conditions often intersect. Allergies, which are immune responses to certain substances known as allergens, can trigger asthma symptoms in some individuals. This phenomenon, termed "allergic asthma," is the most common form of asthma. When a person with allergic asthma encounters an allergen, their immune system reacts, causing inflammation and constriction of the airways. This response mirrors the classic symptoms of asthma, including wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Understanding this connection can be instrumental in developing personalized treatment plans for those suffering from these intertwined conditions.
