xopenex breathing treatments

or the breathing treatments? at the hospital, they give me xopenex, which works ok, not really good for me. the last time i went to the hospital, the therapist gave me atrovent and xopenex, with 4 doses in one. i told them it was making me too jittery, way more than normal and nobody listened. instead of getting better, it was staying the same and making me feel out of control. how can i get my doctor to prescribe me a pulse ox for at home?

I hope you find some thing. Some times the regular breathing treatments are needed, but you also need sleep.

s run a low grade temp for 13 days running, has taken codituss cough med (with codiend), breathing treatments with Xopenex, and has finished a round of Z-pack. Coughing is horrible at bedtime and through the night. Since she has a low grade temp I had disregarded an allergy. 13 days into this, I'm re-thinking everything. I'm looking for help. Is this a virus or allergy or what? She can sit in a room 6 ft from the guinea pigs and not cough at all.

He said that he must have gotten some sort of virus and it triggered his asthma. He told me to continue his Singulair, Pulmicort Respules one time a day, Xopenex in the nebulizer every four hours, and he prescribed Prednisone two times per day (dr. said to start the steroid only if the cough does not slow down). So on Wednesday morning, my son woke up at 6:30am coughing non-stop....coughing so much that he vomited!

My son had been diagnosed with pneumonia 4 times in the past four months, as well as bronchiolitis in between. He has been treated with Rocephin, Azithromycin, and Amoxil. He has breathing treatments 4 times a day (pulmicort & xopenex) has had 2 episodes of cyanosis, and been hospitalized for low oxygen satuation, wheezing etc. His pediatrician tells me I shouldn't panic and that he has asthma. He is only 13 mos old!

Ask about alternative treatments if the xopenex is not sufficiently helpful..

Then she was fine for years until she started to have tonsilitis at age 3 her tonsils and adnoids were taken out She always has what we refer to as a cloggy throat Always clearing her throat filled with plegm and I mean every morning she wakes with this and had this prior to the tonsil surgery. She at age 6 starting have extreme breathing difficulty rarely ever with a cough or wheezing.

Yes, it's called adult onset asthma. I never had it either until one year ago, but because I went on a very healthy diet and eliminated milk products and sugar, I stopped wheezing. Lately I started eating all of the bad foods again and now once again I am wheezing. I too refuse to take medications, but 2 weeks ago I did use Xopenex (it's a bronchodialator) that helped me to breathe.

It also triggers by breathing in something irritating e.g. smokes, perfumes. So i really want to ask whether i got asthma or not.

I take it you are talking about the xopenex ampules and not the xopenex spray? If its the spray then there might be something that can be given to him that is not as strong. Hope this helps.

I was rushed to the hospital this morning and was having a hard time breathing and cathing my breath. This has been happening for about a week and a half no matter where i am or what im doing it can happen. My chest becomes tight and my throat seems to be blocked and its hard for me to swallow. I am 26 yr female and i do smoke up to 4 or 5 cigs daily not pks! Please help! could it also be gas?

Literally one day his lungs will be clear, maybe slight wheezing and then BAHM he has pneumonia. It is not controlled at all with the plan when a cold comes and none of the treatments work. Is this how asthma is for some people or is something more serious going on. I am just so concerned. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Lupo, We are trying desperately to help our 19 year old daughter with her thyroid issues. She is a College swimmer and has been hypothyroid since age 9. She has been hitting the "wall" in her races so we had a breathing test done. She also has times when she experiences a tight chest for no apparent reason. The breathing test showed what appeared to be airway inflamation (she improved her small airway lung function by 51% after taking an albuterol type drug).

(I have had asthma my entire life and at the first signs of a sniffle and some tightness I immediately start a prednisone taper and Xopenex nebulizer). I was prescribed azithromycin and told to continue with my xopenex and prednisone. I also took cough syrup, sudafed and motrin. Saturday I was significantly worse and over the weekend it esciladed. My temperature would go from 96.2 to 100.5 and back down over a 30min period.

Almost all my meds have stopped working (spiriva, symbicort, advair, etc.) the only meds that have any effect is my xopenex inhaler - even the xopenex solution for my nebulizer causes breathing problems sometimes. Even the oxygen(2 ltrs) is not working as well. If I am setting down I breath very well with or without the oxygen but if I start moving around I must have the oxygen and then I'm still short of breath.

thank you so much i have the rescue one xopenex hfa says its levalbuterol. than i have one for night its a powder its asmanex . i have been like this now for 2 months it seems to get better than last night it was not bad but woke me up at 1 could not sleep for coughing and wheezing and scared i was going have a bad attack and die from it , so i need the inhaler just to scared to take it. so are these ok or will the xop cause the heart speed. thank you so much.

It isnt my lungs either, It feels like my heart isnt getting enough oxygen is the best way I can describe it it is scary. What kind of chemicals do you inhaul?? I have heard of an alternative treatments Ill have to get back to you on that.

The reality is that I have had allergic rhinitis during the whole pregnancy, I am 18 weeksand the last two days have been horrible w my breathing. So, I used my rescue nebulizer yesterday and today with albuterol. I feel much better, but curiosity intrigued me and I started Googling about the risks of not taking meds vs taking the meds and they both blow. Now, I feel like a terrible mommy but at the same time I know my angel needs my lungs to be strong...I feel like i should?

ve tried spiriva and dulera, combivent and xopenex and I still have some blockage/wheezing when I exhale. I have low oxygen at 75% in my sleep and can't sleep and have terrible fog for days and exhaustion for 2 years with the sleep apnea which medication could help my breathing/sleep apnea problems?

Hi, fast heart rate is due to Xopenex. Initially, use of this drug is associated with this side effect but over a period of time, tolerance usually develops. In case if you have a pre exisiting heart disease, please avoid this drug. Consult you treating doctor to lower the dose or frequency, other alternative is sustained release deriphylline tablets.

My question is...are there any other treatments other than listed that could have a better result for the chronic coughing??...Are steroids effective and what are the side effects.please? Are there any home remedies as far as air treatment, beathing masks etc..? Any help would be appreciated.

he takes nebulizer treatments on a daily basis, pulmicort and if needed, xopenex, he cardiac issues, asthma and narrowing if his throat. he has been on these medications since he was 5 weeks old. today while he was at school he was very short of breath and not wheezing but could feel that junkie **** in his lungs, so they gave him a treatment, as they gave him his treatment his eyes rolled tothe back of his head and started to flutter, the person said this can happen during an asthma attack.
