What Is Asthma Exacerbation? Asthma exacerbation is another term for an asthma attack in which the bronchial tubes through which air flows to the lungs suddenly tighten and become constricted. This makes it extremely difficult to breathe, resulting in an asthma exacerbation. There are many things that can trigger an asthma exacerbation and quick treatment is necessary to prevent a medical emergency.
Asthma Triggers. Acute asthma exacerbation is often caused by a particular trigger. Common triggers include allergens, exercise and poor air quality. Respiratory viruses, especially rhinovirus, cause the majority of asthma exacerbations in both children and adults. Changes in weather such as extreme heat or cold may also cause spasm of the airways.
