Yes: All asthma attacks are caused by various triggers, including allergens such as dust mites, animal dander, foods or pollen, irritants such as tobacco smoke, acid reflux, viral or bacterial infections, exercise, cold exposure, emotional stress, or medications such as beta blockers or nsaids. All individuals with asthma are not the same, so, not all asthma attacks are brought on by the same trigger.
