Symptoms

Attacks of breathlessness where exhalation is difficult with an associated wheeze. Symptoms are caused by spasm of the bronchial tubes and symptoms can be exacerbated by the secretion of thick sticky mucous. The symptoms are often brought about by an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction taking place in the bronchial walls. This can be created by inhaling and/or digesting foods the sufferer is sensitive too.
Stressful emotions can also play a part in triggering attacks.
