Symptoms

Asthma symptoms vary from person to person. You may have infrequent asthma attacks, have symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising — or have symptoms all the time.

Asthma signs and symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath

• Chest tightness or pain

• Wheezing when exhaling, which is a common sign of asthma in children

• Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing

• Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu

Signs that your asthma is probably worsening include:

• Asthma signs and symptoms that are more frequent and bothersome

• Increasing difficulty breathing, as measured with a device used to check how well your lungs are working (peak flow meter)

• The need to use a quick-relief inhaler more often

For some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations:

• Exercise-induced asthma, which may be worse when the air is cold and dry

• Occupational asthma, triggered by workplace irritants such as chemical fumes, gases or dust

• Allergy-induced asthma, triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, mold spores, cockroach waste, or particles of skin and dried saliva shed by pets (pet dander)
