 Asthma Early Warning Signs everyone should know
It has been a year since I originally posted this information. Based on a thread on the allergy board, I thought it would be useful for those newer members.
Most people think of asthma and think wheezing, shortness of breath, tight chest and coughing. There are often other signs of pending attacks as well. I've found that the earlier I recognize a pending attack, the faster I can get a jump on treating it and trying to keep the severity of the attack down. Watching for these signs has become part of my asthma action plan.
