Signs and symptoms are different for everyone however they are the same for the one person who has asthma. In other words, one person may cough uncontrollably with their asthma attack. That cough would happen with a sports induced attack or a cold air induced attack. It should be the same.
Someone else may wheeze with their asthma attacks to the same triggers.
The key to managing asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them as much as possible. If you are unable to avoid your triggers you will need medication to help. Controller medications are taken everyday and help prevent attacks. These medications include Singulair, inhaled steroids and oral steroids.
Rescue medications are use to reverse an attack. the two most common rescue medication are albuterol (provental or ventelin) or Xopenex.
