Asthma can make occasional migraines a chronic condition
CINCINNATI, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- People who have occasional migraines and asthma are twice as likely as those without the breathing condition to develop chronic migraine attacks, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati and Montefiore Headache Center explored the link between migraines and asthma because they are similarly caused by inflammation, either of the blood vessels or airways. They theorize that if one is not directly caused by the other, they may be caused by the same allergens, suggesting allergies in some patients be treated more aggressively.....

Busting common asthma myths
Dhaka, Nov 29 (UNB) - The condition claims over 1,000 lives a year and 80% of asthma sufferers find that their condition flares up because of air pollution.
Every 10 seconds, someone experiences a potentially fatal asthma attack. Making sure your asthma is well managed is the most important thing you can do to reduce your risk of an attack, according to Dr Walker. She says, "People with asthma have what we call 'twitchy airways' that overact to triggers such as pollution, pollen and temperature changes. Inhaled or oral steroid treatments dampen and control this reaction. This is why it's crucial that people take their inhaler as prescribed." Research shows a written 'asthma action plan' will make you four times less likely to need hospital treatment.....
