Allergies can impact what you eat, how you breathe, or the products you use. When allergies combine with severe respiratory issues, it is called allergic asthma. It is a condition when your airway tightens when you inhale allergens like pollen, dander, dust mites, or mold spores. The allergens trigger asthma symptoms.  

It is the most common type of asthma. The symptoms of allergic asthma are like that of asthma.
