Causes for Asthma

Asthma has no single cause. It is caused by multiple factors, which can be divided into two groups:

01 External

02 Internal

Asthma is caused and maintained by more than one of the following causes:

  • Genetic or hereditary cause
  • Environmental factors (pollution, pollen, etc) - Systemic diseases
  • Mental stress
  • Allergens

Asthma has a tendency to recur and get chronic. It is often observed to be a lifelong disease like diabetes or high blood pressure.

One or more of the above factors lead to altered immunity which eventually leads to chronic asthma. It may be noted that the genetic tendency for asthma forms soil, leading to susceptibility to be affected by other external or internal trigger factors.

Allergies Causing Asthma

Allergens Causing Asthma:

  • Pollens
  • Air pollutants
  • Smoking and second-hand smoking
  • Respiratory infections
  • Common cold, Sinusitis

  • Cold air
  • Medications: Aspirin, NSAID, Beta blockers etc.
  • GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) Read more on Gerd
