  "Asthma is triggered by many things, and one of them is stress," says Pramod Kelkar, MD, a fellow with the American Academy of Asthma Allergy and Immunology (AAAAI).
  ...
  "The mechanism between asthma and anxiety is many-fold," says Kelkar, a physician at Allergy and Asthma Care in Maple Grove, Minn. "Uncontrolled emotions can work the nerves and cause constriction of muscles, like the smooth muscles of the airways in the lungs.
  ...
  "The good news is that prednisone is only a short-term treatment," explains Kelkar. "When a course of oral steroids ends, a person should go back to a long-term maintenance therapy like inhaled steroids, which do not have an impact on mood and anxiety."
  
  Sometimes a long-term asthma medication doesn't work well, and wheezing and chest tightness occurs all too often. Then, a vicious circle can begin, where anxiety worsens asthma, and asthma worsens anxiety, says Kelkar.

  If the immune system isn't exposed to enough viruses, bacteria, parasites and other microbial "enemies" during the first couple years of life, it doesn't fully develop, according to Dr. Pramod Kelkar, a senior clinical fellow in allergy and immunology and assistant professor in the Division of Allergy and Immunology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
  
  "It shifts the balance of our immune system from what we call as T helper 1 to T helper 2 cell response," said Dr. Kelkar on the HealthTalk webcast, Growing Into and Out of Allergies . "The T helper 2 cell response in the body basically makes you more prone to develop allergic diseases later in life."
  
  According to Dr. Kelkar, we should all practice "cleanliness in moderation."He believes parents should encourage their children to play outside and even get a little dirty.
  ...
  It may be to something else," said Dr. Kelkar.
  ...
  "The intensity of symptoms may vary over a period of time, but as far as completely outgrowing them, it generally doesn't happen," said Dr. Kelkar.
  ...
  "Some people may not like the feel of it, but it can work very well for some patients," said Dr. Kelkar.

  Allergist Pramod Kelkar described what happens next, "This antibody basically releases a lot of chemicals in the blood like histamine.And that produces the acute allergic reaction called anaphylaxis which is a life-threatening reaction."
  
  Anaphylaxis makes breathing difficult and blood pressure may plunge dangerously low.In some cases death can occur in minutes.Yet, only 20 to 30 percent of patients ever pursue long-term treatment, said Kelkar.
  
  "The good news is we have such a good treatment available with these allergy injections that we can reduce that chance by 97 percent," said Kelkar.
