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.
Sometimes you encounter triggers in the most unexpected places. My wife and I went to the local repertory theater to see their production of "12 Angry Men". Now I was a little concerned about the fragrances that some of the audience might wear but I was expecting that. As it happens that was not a problem. My trigger came from the performance itself. Our seats were very close to the stage and on several occasions during the play two or three actors lit up and smoked cigarettes. Now I should have thought of that. It is part of the play and helps set the mood as being in the 50's.
There is really no one at fault here.It just goes to show that you can't think of everything I guess. Be careful.
