Relatively few children with chronic asthma experience significant improvement in their asthma when they are treated for reflux so while reflux should be considered as a possible cause of uncontrolled chronic respiratory symptoms in children, it is important to remember that many of the trigger factors for wheezing also trigger gastroesophageal reflux.
Asthma can cause symptoms which vary from a cough to wheezing or shortness of breath.
If asthma is not controlled it causes a decrease in the oxygen content of the mother's blood which can cause a decrease of oxygen in the fetal blood, which can lead to impaired fetal growth and survival.

Asthma is a respiratory disease in which spasm and constriction of the bronchial passages and swelling of their mucous lining cause obstruction of breathing, often due to allergy, particularly to dust, animal fur or feathers, molds, and pollen.

While we do not know the exact causes of asthma we do know that when we treat the emotional causes that trigger the symptoms we are successful in curing the condition.
Understanding the causes or triggers of your asthma will greatly reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms and should lead to an increase in your quality of life.

We suspect that asthma likely occurs in those with a particular genetic predisposition who have an environmental exposure of some type that causes their physical symptoms to be expressed.
Asthma causes include heredity, allergies to common items and environmental factors, including air pollutants.

Things that can cause asthma symptoms to get worse at night may include sinus infections or postnasal drip caused by allergens like dust mites or pet dander.
Indoor allergens are important because they are the major cause of asthma and/or allergic reaction with sensitized people.
