What are the symptoms of allergic asthma?

If you have allergic asthma, you may have many of the same symptoms you would experience with other types of asthma. These symptoms can include:

  • Feeling short of breath.
  • Coughing frequently, especially at night.
  • Wheezing (a whistling noise during breathing).
  • Experiencing chest tightness (feels like something is pressing or squeezing your chest).

These symptoms can be very intense during an asthma attack. Make sure you have a treatment plan in place if you have severe asthma symptoms — this plan often includes an inhaler (sometimes referred to as a rescue inhaler).

You can also experience symptoms more closely related to allergies. These are usually less intense than asthma symptoms and can happen when you’re exposed to an allergen. These symptoms can include:

  • A stuffy nose.
  • Itchy or running eyes.
  • Sneezing.
  • A rash and hives.
