Allergies and Asthma

Many people who have allergies are also at risk for asthma. In many cases, allergies trigger asthma symptoms or an asthma "attack." This "allergic asthma" is the most common form of asthma. It's often triggered by allergens like dust mites, animal dander, mold and pollen.

Allergists are experts at treating both allergies and asthma. They can explain how your allergies can affect your asthma and steps you need to take to keep both conditions under control.
