The primary reasons, for asthma reaching a life-threatening stage, include the misinterpretation of the symptoms and incorrect diagnosis. Thus, let us first have a look at the symptoms which may be an early warning for asthma and related allergies.

The initial signs and symptoms of asthma are very similar to common cough and cold. These include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, etc. Many a patient has suffered unnecessarily due to incorrect diagnosis of these symptoms. It is only when asthma reaches its secondary stages that an Asthma Specialist is visited.

Some of the known causes of asthmatic attacks include allergies, pollution, genetic, other diseases. Allergies have the peculiarity of getting detected only when contact is made with the asthma inducing agent. These allergies almost always start episodes of asthmatic attacks. Thus, it is highly recommended to stay away from known asthma causing agents. Introduction of pollutants also spark episodes of asthmatic attacks. People working at hazardous work environments are at higher risks of developing asthma than others. Apart from these, asthma also develops due to genetic conditions and other diseases like atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, etc.
