Common Questions and Answers about Singulair eosinophilia

singulair

Avatar m tn I was dx a few months back. Take advair twice a day (was taking singulair too, but it gave me a headache) & take aciphex daily for gerd. the aciphex has helped w/ the coughing some, but i still cough a good bit...sometimes to the point of dizziness. If I laugh, I cough. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn hi, just some thoughts about two things seem to stand out: "symptoms started suddenly when I was 21" Did you have a bad virus cold at that time? Did you move to a new home or work place? Did you travel anyplace where you might have gotten an exotic parasite or infection? "consistently elevated eosinophils" What if whatever is provoking the eosinophilia is also creating endothelial dysfunction, and that's causing poor oxygen transport to tissue?
Avatar m tn I have an 11.8% Eosinophilia, and have been having chronic intermittent loose/soft stools for at least 6-7 months now. With a parasite, would the Eosinophilia range likely be at a higher level?
Avatar f tn Early this year, my dad (61 year-old) has been diagnosed with eosinophilia, report shows Acidophilic Cell %: 9.4, above the healthy range (0.5-5%), Absolute Value of Eosinophil: 0.73 above the healthy range (0.02-0.5X10^9/L). Top Chinese hospitals have held a few consultations, however the cause cannot be found, so the doctors can't carry out effective symptomatic treatment .
Avatar f tn The patient support group I'm in knows about one type of eosinophilia, namely that which is a result of taking the food supplement L-tryptophan or 5-HTP. If that's of any interest to you, please post.
Avatar f tn Since 2015, I've undergone numerous tests because a CBC indicated eosinophilia and neutropenia Eos highest 17%, lowest 8. They've tested me for every parasite, allergy, virus, Ct scans, autoimmune disease etc. all good. They determined the eosinophilia was idiopathic since a diffenative cause could not be found Thanksgiving 2016, a severe sore throats woke me at 2am. I lost my voice completely for 2 weeks.
460830 tn?1347219306 What was the problem with Singulair a while back? I heard something about it, but I never heard what the problem was with it.
Avatar m tn i just wanted to post a warning to other parents. my son was on singulair for over 3 years. he was taking the drug for treatment of mild asthma and allergies. he suffered from undetected side effects for 3 years. the side effects were sneaky and subtle and i did not pick up on the cause. at the age of 7, his physician increased his dosage to 5mg due to his age. after that increase, his side effects became loud and clear.
Avatar f tn My Dr has recommended I try singualr along with Allegra and flonase. He had told me the SIngulair will not make me feel funny, cause anxiety or heart palps etc...yet I see there are a lot of negative side effects. Does anyone have any experience on this medicine or just how safe it is?
Avatar m tn It causes asthma (Arizona Cypress, Mesquite and Palo Verde are the culprits.) Singulair has helped me very successfully in the past. However, I also take a very low dose blood pressure medication (Lisinopril 20mg). I do not have health insurance and have an alternative source for medications. Would it be advisable for me to purchase Singulair for 3 months to get me through those three months next year. This year was a bit difficult without it.

Avatar n tn In March 2009 I was diagnosed with Eosinophilia (40%), Hypogammaglobulinemia low IgG (407) after going to the doctor with stomach pain and alcohol intolerance (0.5 ounce of wine or whiskey would trigger a violent attack within minutes, while grape juice does not cause an attack). Asthma (85% lung capacity), lung granulomas, lung nodules and possible mild Bronchiectasis.
Avatar n tn High eosinophils are found in parasitic infections, asthma, or allergic reactions, and tropical eosinophilia. Hence, it is important to get a stool test. Tropical eosinophilia is unlikely unless you live in the tropical belt. Hope this helps. Take care!

237053 tn?1258828426 Okay, I got in the mail today some results of blood work my LLMD did. I thought he only did the CD 57 and ELISPOT but he also did blood counts etc... I didn't get results of CD57 or ELISPOT, but I got the others. Everything was normal except for my Eosinophils was extremely high. The normal range was 0.0- 0.4. Mine was 6.1! Than it says I have Eosinophilia?!! I've never heard of this!
Avatar n tn 2 years ago he was put on Advair disk inhaler, Singulair, and Allegra D as his regimen. After about a month he started having a problem with his legs and groin itching. He took himself off the Singulair as that is what he decided was the problem. He has gotten by with just the Advair inhaler. In the past month he's really been struggling with breathing problems.
Avatar f tn It showed raised ALT and eosinophilia. He had treatment for parasites and the blood were repeated. His ALT was back within normal limits and the eosinophilia had improved but remained slightly. The bloods were again repeated last week and his ALT is high again (222 - should be below 129). The eosinophil count is now normal but he has a high lymphocyte and neutophil count now. He is having an ultrasound this week.

370736 tn?1247242917 I have asthma and use inhaler (long acting and short acting) and Singulair. My pulmonary doc and OB said they're fine to use in pregnancy. I have been using my inhaler a lot more during pregnancy and I'm pretty sure it's because we are now breathing for 2 and our blood flow (which carries oxygen) is going for 2.
Avatar n tn I have been taking singulair for a couple of years now and have all of a sudden developed a head tremor.
Avatar f tn is there another medicine similar to singulair that doesn't have the bad side effects
5468358 tn?1368464832 As I understand you are being worked up to detect the cause for eosinophilia. The different components of the WBC are the neutrophils (50-70%), lymphocytes (30%), basophils (1%), eosinophils (1-3%) and monocytes (4-6%). Eosinophilia is usually detected by a blood test, usually as part of a complete blood count. A count of more than 500 eosinophils per microliter of blood is generally considered eosinophilia in adults.
Avatar n tn I see many folks are experiencing side effects from Singulair. So am I ... I think. I was taking Singulair for just 5 days for and upper respiratory cold and began having tingling and numbness in my extremities. I stopped immediately. My question is, after eliminating all other possible causes (through a number of tests including MRIs, blood work, metals testing) with my doctor, I still have numbness, tingling and burning taking place in my legs and arms for 3 months now.
