Avatar n tn Any of the various forms of albuterol actually do work better than standard cough medicines for non-cough variant asthma. Monitor your symptoms carefully and if things get out of hand, be sure to see your doctor quickly. Feel better and God bless.
Avatar m tn Several aspects should be considered while selecting an inhaler for asthma, such as the severity of your ailment, your age, personal preference, and any other health issues you could have. One possible solution for moderate asthma is to use a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) inhaler, which may provide rapid relief from symptoms.

564169 tn?1216326177 If I would have known this, I could have change my eating habits to a high potassium, magnesium and b6 diet, but I did not know that the very medications I was taking for my asthma were causing me to have mineral defficiencies that impaired my breathing causing a vicious cicle. After an year and a half in bed unable to breath, in just seven days of a high potassium, high magnesium, and high selenium rich foods I can breath.

Avatar n tn For example, Beta-Blockers(a class/group of anti-hypertensives) is not given to a hypertensive patient with asthma since this may exacerbate/worsen the asthma... Better a consult your doctor...
Avatar f tn Has your son been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor ? As far as I know, there is no natural medicine to deal with asthma. I have asthma. I wish there was a natural medicine. I always try and go homeopathic or use a natural medicine, but in the case of asthma , as far as I know, you need an asthma puffer obtained through a doctor's prescription.

757137 tn?1347196453 Use air purifiers in your home. Some are especially designed for asthma suffers. The humidity in the house should be below 50 percent to prevent mold from growing. Supplements are effective. A combination of curcumin and quercetin blocks inflammatory reactions associated with the bronchiospasms characteristic of asthma attacks. Stomach acids play an important role. Studies have shown that as many as 80 percent of asthmatic children have low levels of stomach acid.
726605 tn?1231368596 Also I forgot to mention ...there are all kinds of asthma medicine and none of them are Category "A". This means no issue completlely safe to take during pregnancy. However, I am asthmatic and take medicine daily. In general all asthma meds fall into category B and C. I was told over and over that my asthma medicine was safe to take during pregnancy. I never had any issues.
Avatar m tn A few months later, one of the cats started having asthma attacks. We took her to the vet, who diagnosed the asthma and started her on steroids. A few months later, the other cat also started having asthma problems, and also got started on steroids. Over the summer of 2011, I went to Washington for about 3 weeks to do some field work (I am a structural geology grad. student).
Avatar f tn Anyone else have asthma, and pregnant? Has it gotten worse for you since you got pregnant?
Avatar n tn I lived in Florida for a while and my asthma was out of control there. I have to say, it wasn't the best state for my lungs. As a comedian used to say "anyplace but Florida..." Check out Wal-mart for the best prices on inhalers. I am going to recommend you save up your pennies and get some Foradil (formoterol fumerate inhalation powder). It is VERY expensive, but the 12mcg packets work almost immediately and are more effective than the albuterol sulfate.
Avatar f tn a lot of times the medicine that you take for your asthma can cause high pulse rates esp. if you have to take a breathing treatment that will really cause your heart to pound.
Avatar m tn Also it help aleeve mucus in my throat. My asthma has dissapeared. But i want know that me marijuana medicine can always be there for me.
1373852 tn?1307843048 t cause neuropathy or lung problemes because I have had critical illness polyneuropathy that was resolved by ivig therapy and I also have illness induced asthma and high blood pressure so I need a blood pressure medicine thats not going to make me sick.
Avatar m tn Do you take any kind of medicine for your asthma? I have asthma myself and used to have sharp pains when I would take a very deep breath but since I have been useing Advair ,I haven't done that . There is only one draw back to Advair and that is, it is expensive even with my insurance the copay on it is over $50.00 a month but it does improve my breathing so I guess you fight one evil with another.
