Eosinophilic Asthma Symptoms

Chest Tightness

Along with these mentioned signs, chest tightness might happen in people with eosinophilic asthma. It would occur alone or at the same time with these symptoms. People often describe it as an uncomfortable feeling in which air in the lungs cannot move. This eventually leads to a noticeable amount of anxiety because they think that they would be unable to breathe sufficiently. Whenever you feel like something is squeezing or sitting on the chest, make sure to inform your doctor immediately. [4]

Loss of Smell

Loss of smell or anosmia is the complete or partial loss of your sense of smell. This can be a permanent or temporary effect. It occurs mostly in non-serious cases of asthma when the condition irritates the lining of the nose. Sometimes, it can also be a noticeable clinical maker of serious asthma. Anosmia can be also caused by other reasons, such as head trauma, brain tumors, or even old age. This problem can significantly affect your daily life and eventually lead to malnutrition or weight loss. Mental issues, especially depression, might also happen due to the inability to taste or smell pleasurable food. [5]
