Sneezing, or "sternutation" as it's also called, is your body's way of removing foreign matter from your nose and throat. There are other causes of sneezing, and a lot more to this seemingly simple act than you can imagine.

Although no cure has been found for asthma, it can be controlled.If you are asthmatic, you have sensitive airways that react to certain factors such as stress, infection (flu, common colds), dust, mites, feathers, cigarette smoke, and changes in the weather. These can trigger the selling and the narrowing of your airways.
No one really knows exactly what causes asthma. In asthma, the irritation of your ultra sensitive airways results to the three changes:
- cells in your air passages produce excessively thick and sticky mucus that tends to clog your airways
- your air passages swell or become inflamed
- the muscles in your airways constrict and tighten
These changes cause your air passages to narrow or constrict, causing difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest.

How do you know you are having an asthma attack?Allergens - the largest group includes common "triggers" like pollen, molds, mildew, cockroaches, feathers, and dust mites.
Irritants - this group are found in common household items such as acrosol sprays, cleaning products, and perfumes. Tobacco smoke, air pollution and industrial chemicals also belong to this group.
Physical Conditions - this group includes exercise, weather changes and emotional stress. It also includes viral infections like common cold and flu.

You may also feel restless or irritable and have difficulty sleeping. You oftentimes make a whistling or wheezing sound when you are breathing air in and out, which may be due to narrowed air tubes.
