The difference between allergies and asthma lies in the location of the reaction. If the reaction happens in your nose, then you’ll experience congestion and sneezing. If the reaction happens in your lungs then you’ll experience an asthma attack like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
The common signs and symptoms of allergic asthma are the same as other types of asthma:
Shortness of breath.
Cough.
Chest tightness or pain.
Wheeze (a whistling sound when you breathe)
Waking at night due to asthma symptoms.
A drop in your peak flow meter reading (if you use one).
Sulfites can trigger asthma symptoms in some people. Used as a preservative, sulfites can be found in wine, dried fruits, pickles, fresh and frozen shrimp, and some other foods.
