Asthma can develop for anyone at any age. It is not unheard of for seniors to develop asthma symptoms for the first time. When asthma does occur at a later age, the symptoms are much like those experienced by anyone else.

The most common causes of an asthma flare up are a respiratory infection or virus, exercise, allergens, and air pollution (an irritant). Allergens and irritants are substances found in our everyday environment. People who have asthma may experience wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

Asthma creates a much greater risk for older adults because they are more likely to develop respiratory failure as a result of the asthma, even during mild episodes of symptoms.

From confusion over medications to problems with their inhaler, older people with asthma may need special caregiving help to manage their daily treatment plans.

Have you ever thought about how pollen affects allergies?

We’ve all heard the term pollen count at some time or the other. A pollen count is the measurement of the number of grains of pollen in a cubic meter of air. As the pollen number increases, people with allergies will have an increase in their allergic reaction.

Pollen is a fine yellowish powder that is transported from plant to plant by wind, insects, birds or other animals. Plain-looking plants (trees, grasses, and weeds) that do not have striking flowers, also produce pollen. The spread of pollen helps plants to reproduce. Pollen is light enough to travel through air and when it makes its’ way into human noses and throats, it can cause misery for allergy sufferers. Of all the things that can cause an allergy, pollen is one of the most widespread.
A pollen allergy can cause symptoms like an Itchy throat, red, itchy, watery eyes, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, wheezing or coughing.

We can help you manage your pollen allergy symptoms and help you treat it. Contact details in bio.
