Asthma Support Group

Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.

California Fires and air quality?

deleted_user

I am in Texas. My allergies have been unusually bad the last few weeks. Could the California fires have affected the air quality this far way?
I have had stinging eyes, coughing, sneezing, multiple nebulizer treatments(rare for me, usually).
Any thoughts out there?

could be something else but timing is to right not to be fires

My doctor says that the fires in Cali. are probably not the cause, as they are burning crops in Mexico right now, and we are very close.
