Avatar f tn Nasal and throat cultures test negative except for rhinovirus. Albuterol (qid) Combivent (BID) combined treatment resolved shortness of breath finally so dropped albuterol and combivent... but cough still persists. Follow up again with Pulm increased dosage of Flovent to 110. Sorry so detailed, just wanted to convey that we have tried MANY approaches. He is still coughing. Albeit less frequently on some days, but still very bronchial cough. Wet, non productive. No drainage and No fevers EVER.
Avatar m tn I DO NOT recommend messing with your dosage but I would definately make sure my dosage is right in oder to get on the right track for weight loss.
Avatar n tn m a 30 year old morbidly obese diabetic (blood sugar well controlled, weight loss steady since 01/09). Smoked for 10 years, quit 11/07. Was thought to have asthma since late teens due to occasional wheezing and shortness of breath. Doc finally sent for PFT, which came back normal. The wheezing seems to get a lot worse when I'm sick, but it's usually manageable. August 12th I got sick with what the doc told me was a common cold... stuffy nose, wheezing, coughing.
Avatar n tn There is never an easy way to lose weight in my experience. Dieting and losing weight is not easy for anyone, but I do understand the particular challenges for diabetics. After going through a few lows, you often just feel like giving up. The one nice thing about diabetes is that it provides you with the basics for a healthy balanced diet, so we already know what we should eat.

746512 tn?1388807580 I have these same symps when I get bronch. I too have asthma and the lung doc I had told me to eat bananas one or two a day because these meds tend to cause potsasium loss which leads to cramping..... I've done this and it worked for me..........best wishes...K.
614508 tn?1265281722 My understanding from the drug handout is that it is normally prescribed for migraines, seizures and weight loss. My doc has just increased my dosage to 100mg 3x per day. I have experienced some deterioration in my eyesight however I'm not sure if that's attributed to age (hadn't had my eyes examined in 2 years) or the Topamax which I've been on a lower doze for 6 weeks. Other meds: Lithium, Zoloft, Ativan. Any advise would be welcome.
Avatar f tn I was feeling a bit hyperthyroid previous to the 2 weeks without (possibly due to the weight loss). Weight loss was a good thing, I've been trying via Weight Watchers to lose weight. It was lost over several months, so at a normal rate, I believe. My last test result for TSH was .094 uIU/ml and the standard range is from .3 to 5.6 (my doctor wants me at around .
Avatar n tn Don't overdo the green tea -- it has a stimulant in it. L-carnitine (in moderation) should not be a problem. These supplements will not likely help with weight loss though....that is more of an issue of calorie balance.
Avatar m tn I am already aware of Gastric Bypass Surgery intended for use in weight loss. I have a family member who underwent this procedure. He lost the weight and has also put his Diabetis under control. Interstingly enough I have not heard of the Xsophy procedue yet. Sounds like a good tool to aide in surgery with less complications for the patient . Minimal inscisions are always a plus too.
788350 tn?1236620199 my question is can ephedrine do anything for me. alot of my friends run ephedrine hcl in eca stacs for weight loss. obviously my reason for using would be different and not involve cafiene or asprin. what can it do for me and how to take it. also is there any other alternatives?
678431 tn?1227554311 I use Albuterol Inhalers for my asthma and I've been recently having some trouble with 'em. My mom and I share the same dosages, which I find really weird since I just merely have asthma and she has emphysema as well. But, I've brought that to the attention of m doctor but she still said I needed the same dosage. Plus, it makes me really jittery and shaky.
Avatar f tn I've had asthma for 24 years. I'm a 25 years old female. My father also suffered from asthma and my daughter, whom is 4 years old. I workout 4-5 days a week but see myself using the albuterol inhaler 10-20 min into my cardio workout. I really wished I was like the others who can jump on the treadmill and run without using medications. I was wondering if this frequent use of the albuterol inhaler will affect me negatively.
Avatar f tn I have not experienced any weight loss. I do have weight fluctuations up and down about 8 pounds but I also have a thyroid problem and had a hysterectomy recently. I am tired of feeling asthmatic and having this annoying sinus drip. I am tired of the nagging cough and shortness of breath that I believe this drug is causing. After two weeks of being on Flovent and Albuterol without relief, I am going back to my doctor and tapering off of this drug to see if I can get better.
Avatar f tn You should be aware, though, that weight loss medications are, typically, not meant for long term use, and while weight loss may result, you risk regaining the weight, as soon as you stop the medication, if you don't adopt a healthy lifestyle. Before you resort to weight loss medication, I might suggest that you first determine if your thyroid hormone dosage is optimal.
Avatar n tn I'm on week 31 of tx. The HepC is no longer active and I only have 17 weeks remaining on the program. The results are very positive. However, I still suffer from all the major side effects and had to go on leave to try and just focus on my health. The most important one to me has been my weight loss. Since the beginning, 03/09, I've lost 60 lbs and am still loosing. My appetite has been little to none, but I am attempting to change that.
Avatar n tn Hello, Over the summer, I started having symptoms of hyperthyroid (anxiety, heart palpiltations, insomnia, weight loss). My tsh in my bloodwork came back low (.3 i think) They retested me a couple weeks later and it was within range (.6 i believe). The symptoms cleared, but recently I noticed a few returning - got tested again and now tsh is borderline (.45). My doc said to get tested again in 6 months. All my other levels are in range, but in some cases barely.
Avatar n tn I am not a physician, but a mom of a type 1 child, and the daughter of a type 2 diabetic. I know that from experiences with my daughter it was hard for her to gain weight. When she was diagnosed the endo wanted her to gain 5 pounds. It took her over year. I have a sitter that is a type one diabetic, she needed to lose weight.
Avatar n tn I'm still confused about how long is too long to be on this medication and will the weight loss adventually stop or at least slow down? What is non-stimulant Strattera and how will it help my son?
Avatar n tn Topamax (Topiramate) is not a weight loss medication; I'm surprised you'd find a doctor to prescribe it for that. I take it daily, for peripheral neuropathy. I've been on it for about 2 yrs and it's done nothing to help with weight loss. Of course, the dosage has a lot to do with it... what dosage are you on?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Phenterrmine for 3 months and after needing to up the dosage have been loosing 1-2 pounds per week. I have 2 months left of the prescription and am very happy with how I feel. More energy, reduced appetite, better will power. I have 80 more pounds that I want to lose and am very worried about what to do when the prescription runs out. My doctor has suggested switching to another weight loss drug, possibly Qysmia Belviq, or Saxenda. Wondering what others have done.
