Alli, MD (2016) said that there are 3 types of asthma. These are the cough
variant asthma, occupational asthma and nighttime or nocturnal asthma. The
author stated that cough variant asthma are triggered usually by respiratory
infections and exercise. Severe coughing is the predominant symptoms and
coughing because of sinusitis with asthma is usually common. Occupational
asthma are results from workplace triggers. Patients with this type of asthma
experience runny nose and congestion of eye irritation and coughing. Jobs that
associate with occupational asthma are the animal breeders, nurses, painters,
and hairdressers. All of the symptoms above that the author discussed is the
same with the nocturnal asthma except that it was triggered during nighttime.

position, or the secretion of hormones that follow a circadian pattern.
