Breathe Deep With Exceptional Asthma Treatment From Middle Georgia’s Premier Asthma Doctors

Allergic asthma is one of the most common types of asthma. In fact, asthma patients are also likely to experience other allergy symptoms when exposed to triggering allergens.

Common allergens that can lead to an asthma attack include:

• Pet dander
• Pollen
• Mold spores
• Dust Mites
• Cockroach droppings

At Langford Allergy, our asthma and allergy doctors offer thorough testing to evaluate your asthma condition and determine the triggers that irritate your asthma and allergy symptoms. Based on the results, we create effective long-term and short-term treatment plans so that you can face the world protected from an asthma attack.

Nonallergic asthma, sometimes called non-atopic asthma or intrinsic asthma, is a type of asthma that is not affected by common allergens like pollen, pet dander, or dust mites.

The factors that can lead to an asthma attack for nonallergic asthma patients include:

• Viral respiratory infections
• Smoke, smog, or other air pollutants
• Stress
• Cold, dry air
• Hot, humid air
• Exercise

If your asthma is affected by external factors other than allergies, the asthma specialists at Langford Allergy can help you determine your non-allergy triggers and formulate successful long-term and short-term treatment plans to help reduce asthma attacks and protect you whenever you sense an attack coming on.

Exercise-induced asthma is a form of nonallergic asthma that begins when a patient physically exerts themselves too much.

Physical exertion causes the patient’s airways to narrow, leading to issues like:

• Coughing
• Shortness of breath
• Tightness in the chest
• Wheezing

External conditions can make an exercise-induced asthma attack even worse, especially when the air is cold and dry, there are high levels of pollutants in the air, or there is an increase in pollen.

In many cases, exercise-induced asthma patients also suffer from allergic or nonallergic asthma. However, non-asthma patients can experience exercise-induced asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm.

If your breathing is especially labored during exercise, talk to Langford’s asthma doctors about exercise-induced asthma. We can evaluate your symptoms and provide effective treatments to improve your breathing at the gym, on the field, or on the court.
