Non-Allergic Asthma

Non-allergic asthma, also known as intrinsic asthma, occurs when asthma symptoms arise without any identifiable allergic triggers. Unlike allergic asthma, which is triggered by allergens like pollen or pet dander, non-allergic asthma may be triggered by factors such as stress, exercise, cold air, respiratory infections, or strong odors. People with this type of asthma may experience symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, often without a clear allergic cause. Treatment typically involves medications to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation in the airways, helping individuals breathe more easily.
