The airways narrow and swell, making breathing difficult. An asthma attack can be triggered when you breathe in irritants, dust particles, pollutants, pollen or smoke.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"Asthma-symptoms-to-watch-out-for\">Asthma symptoms to watch out for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Changes in weather have an enormous impact on <strong>asthma<\/strong>. The winter season can prove to be potentially dangerous for this illness. The dryness in the cold air tends to aggravate breathing problems. Cold <strong>air <\/strong>is very challenging for people with asthma as it can flare up sinusitis, can lead to a cold or flu which further thickens the mucus in bronchial tubes, making it hard to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>The signs of an asthma attack to watch out for this winter season include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Breathlessness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rapid breathing or being short of breath is the first sign of an asthma attack. When the airways are inflamed and narrow, it hampers the transportation of the required amount of oxygen to the lungs, causing breathlessness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>Coughing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60498 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Coughing-with-Asthma-in-winters.jpg\" alt=\"Coughing with Asthma in winters_Activ living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Issues such as coughing follow suit.

This makes it harder for air to pass through. As a result, a wheezing sound is produced when you are unable to inhale the right amount of oxygen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
