What triggers asthma attacks? If you have asthma, then shouldn’t you know the answer?

During an asthma attack, the airways become irritated and react by narrowing and constricting, causing increased resistance, and obstructing the flow of the air passages to and from the lungs.
The words “trigger factors,” and “triggers” of asthma are used to describe the things that can cause an attack in someone who already has asthma.
