Laughter As an Asthma Trigger

From Pat Bass, About.com GuideJuly 13, 2009

Follow me on:

Asthmagirl had an interesting post recently about how laughter sometimes caused her to need to use her rescue inhaler. This got me thinking about asthma triggers other than the traditional triggers your doctor talks to you about.

Do you have anything that triggers your asthma that is out of the ordinary? If so, leave a comment and let us know about it.
