What does asthma look like in adults?
Asthma is often thought of as a childhood condition, but while children are more likely to get diagnosed, more adults live with the chronic respiratory disease.
Nearly 10 percent of American adults, about 20 million people, have asthma, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). While adult and childhood asthma are classified as different types of asthma, it is actually very similar in terms of symptoms, management, triggers and even medications used, says Purvi Parikh, MD, an allergist with Allergy & Asthma Network and a clinical assistant professor in the departments of medicine and pediatrics at New York University School of Medicine.

(BPT) - Spring has sprung, and for many of us, that means the start of bothersome allergy symptoms. In fact, between 30 and 60 million Americans are affected by environmental allergies each year,
[1] making it one of the leading causes of chronic disease in the U.S. Allergies are caused by the bodyâs immune system overreacting to substances in the environment, causing symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, congestion or sinus pressure.
One of the more common environmental allergy triggers is ragweed pollen. Ragweed plants grow wild in most areas in the U.S. from August through November and produce pollen, a powdery substance made up of grains that help fertilize other ragweed plants. One ragweed plant can release up to one billion pollen grains into the air that can end up in your nose, eyes or mouth, potentially triggering an allergic reaction.
