  Depends. A lot of attacks have to do with doing excessive exercising without taking breaks; allergies.

  Symptoms vary widely from person to person and from situation to situation.

  Inflammatory Triggers
  -------------------------
  Inflammatory (allergic) triggers can cause inflammation of the lungs' airways or tightening of the airways' muscles.

  Inflammatory triggers include:

  - Dust mites
  - Animals
  - Cockroaches
  - Moulds
  - Pollens
  - Viral infections
  - Certain air pollutants

  Symptom Triggers
  ------------------------
  Symptom (non-allergic) triggers generally do not cause inflammation, but they can provoke "twitchy" airways, especially if they're already inflamed.

  Symptom triggers include:

  - Smoke
  - Exercise
  - Cold air
  - Chemical fumes and other strong-smelling substances like perfumes
  - Certain food additives like sulfites
  - Certain air pollutants
  - Intense emotions
