Spring brings warmer weather—and an increase in seasonal allergies and asthma triggers. Tree, grass, and weed pollen, along with air pollution and changing weather conditions, can trigger coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. For people with asthma, it’s important to follow an asthma action plan, take medications as prescribed, and monitor daily air quality. Taking simple steps, like limiting outdoor activity on high pollen days and keeping windows closed, can help reduce exposure to triggers and prevent symptoms from worsening.
