Allergic Asthma Triggered by Pollen

Allergic asthma triggered by pollen occurs when your immune system overreacts to pollen from trees, grasses, or plants. When you breathe in this pollen, your body mistakenly identifies it as a threat, leading to inflammation in your airways. This can cause symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The immune response can make your airways sensitive and narrow, making it harder to breathe. Managing this condition may involve avoiding pollen, using medications like antihistamines or inhalers, and monitoring pollen forecasts to minimize exposure during peak seasons.
