Adult-Onset Asthma Directory

Adult-onset asthma occurs when asthma symptoms appear in adults over 20. It could be associated with allergies or could be triggered by environmental factors at work or home. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and more. Risk factors include a family history of asthma or allergies, smoking in your home, and living in urban areas. Asthma treatments usually include anti-inflammatory medications such as inhaled steroids and bronchodilators. Many use inhalers or nebulizers to take their medications.
