Common Questions and Answers about Clarinex and asthma

clarinex

Avatar n tn First is the cough from a problem in side or something you are breathing in? A good test I use is a HEPA filted mask. (the kind you can get in the hardware store with canisters). Wearing that for 5 minutes should clear up the mucus quite a bit if it is something you are breathing in. Easy test and takes only 5 minutes. Try a deep breath with the mask on after 5 minutes and see if you still feel like coughing.
Avatar n tn What other possibilities could there be or should I be trying something else or getting another opinion a this point. I am 37 and have never had a history of asthma and have no history in my family either. Nobody else in the house is sick.
Avatar f tn Her OB and PCP told her that taking her clarinex was OK. She is miserable without it and right now has a wicked cold. I have been reading now that clarinex is OK to take and other sites saying it is not OK. She is 21 weeks right now. Why would they say it is OK if it isn't? Thanks for any info.
Avatar n tn Hello, Side effects of singulair are many varying from non serious ones like nausea,abdominal pain,headache,heart burns and GI discomfort to serious ones like anaphylaxis,liver damage and depression and hallucinations.You can take zytec(cetrizine) for your allergies but it is also not without side effects.They may vary from allergic reactions to raised heart beat,seizures and liver damage.
Avatar m tn She told me that my x-ray looks ok, but my eardrums looked rather tight/slightly swollen. She thinks I’ve got a chronic sinus infection. She put me on Clarinex and 2 nasal sprays to fix the problem. It’s been 5 days but I’m still struggling to breathe. Leading a normal life is really difficult. It’s worst in the morning (4-10AM) and at night (8-11PM). In between my breathing is still fairly labored, but not as bad.
Avatar f tn But, the important thing is that you almost certainly have asthma and are under-medicated for it, and that is the problem of the moment. It should also be noted that persons with asthma can have other respiratory diseases that can result in hyperventilation, as can anxiety when it is hard to breathe, for any reason. The type of cough you have experienced is also compatible with this diagnosis. You mention pneumonia and that is always a possibility, for persons of any age.

Avatar f tn my mom has been experiencing this weird outbreak of hives all over her body, and when she has an outbreak it seems to cause severe joint pain,but not in the same joints it kinda travels around.she has been to an allergist but they put her on predisone and clarinex and zantec but as soon as the pred. is done the rash seems to rehash and the clarinex and othe meds seem not to help at all.
Avatar m tn I have also had a chest XRay, which my physician said was clear. An ENT doctor examined my nose and throat using a camera probe and indicated that my vocal cords were slightly infamed -- but that was about it. Even with all that, I can't seem to shake this condition loose. How can I rid myself of this condition once and for all? Should I request a CT Scan for further examination of this condition?
Avatar m tn ve been having similar problems with my hearing. I went to the doctor and he gave me clarinex and flonnase. The medications did nothing. I have spoken with two other people that have had similar issues with their hearing. One person said his problems went away after one month. I've had problems for one month and it doesn't seem do be getting any better.
Avatar f tn I'm scheduled to have a VNG on Tuesday at 3:15pm. I'm a migraine sufferer and I haven't gotten a clear answer from the audiologist about whether Effexor and Topamax will interfere with the results of the VNG. My neurologist has told me that I'm not allowed to stop those. I also have a question about muscle relaxers like Amrix and Zanaflex. I'm trying to go off of my meclazine and this morning has shown me that the next four days are going to be really rough.
Avatar f tn I had asthma since I was five and it is getting worse and worse coz my chest and lungs is feeling really painful whenever I do sports and I no longer can do sports as long as I want now. Every time after I had asthma attack, I will either faint, dehydrated, lack of energy or feeling extremely dizzy which I can't even walk straight. These symptoms will at least last for two hours. Will I get anoxia or other sickness other then asthma?
Avatar n tn We went to a homeopath who said that since both asthma and the burping are movements of air in the body, that they are related. He gave him some homeopathetic medicine which did relief the burping somewhat, but after he stopped taking it, the problem returned just as bad. The burping is worse during episodes of asthma and whenever he drinks cow's milk. Dairy has produced asthma attacks as well. Any advice or ideas?
Avatar f tn i am 22wks pregnant and have asthma.
Avatar f tn my son has had asthma since he was 10months old and I was wanting to know is can a child grow out of it
Avatar n tn I use use Clarinex which helps a little. Tried Claritin and it did not do anything. Most nasal sprays help, a non steroid nasal spray such as NasalCrom might help too and is gentle with virtually no side effects. I found that allergy shots was the only thing that stopped it for me. I don't use nasal sprays anymore. My rynitis was really bad and clogging my air ways. Now it seems to be almost gone. I get a bit sticky but never more than clearing my throat kind of annoyance.
Avatar m tn i have asthma and i smoke but i dont get sick.but i have asthma every morning or eating any seafood.i have a friend who everytimes smoke have asthma.why is that?
Avatar m tn My cousin had some Clarinex that she gave me and I took one pill a day for 5 days and kept my skin as soft and moist as possible during that time, and am happy to report that the bumps have receeded and the itching has stopped. There is a little tightness of the skin remaining, but that is a small irritant compared to where I was on May 2nd. Thanks again........
1931528 tn?1323251138 Sometimes, a damp enviroment can cause mold. If there is mold in the house, then yes, the asthma could get a little worse. My little sister has asthma, and we don't have to keep the house extremely dry for her. But a dehumidifier wouldn't hurt to have around.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with asthma and copd~ but a breathing test proved otherwise and ultimately all my other doctor visits simply dismissed me as having anxiety/panic attacks and probably a hypocondriac. I was none of the above, my vitamin b12 was low as well as my vitamin d. These 2 vitamins quickly resolved my issue~hope it's something as simple as that for you. good luck and I suggest you do some research on symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.
Avatar f tn I AM HAVING KNEE SURGERY AND MY DR PRES DARVOCET FOR PAIN AND I'VE TAKEN ONLY ONE BUT NOW HAVING PAIN WHEN I BREATHE IN MY BACK RIGHTSIDE IS THIS NORMAL
Avatar f tn i do know that beta blockers are not for people with asthma, but i thought if anyone knows if i could take a low dose beta blocker for my anxiety and tachycardia and this low dose beta blocker would not affect my asthma too much. Currently, i am taking 2 mg. zoloft along with 1 mg. clonazepam up to 3 times a day as prescribed by my dr. These used to keep my heart rate down to below 100, but now they are not working as good.
Avatar m tn I am not a doctor but I have been living with asthma for more than thirty years and six years ago I was diagnosed with tachycardia. Take your medication for tachy on time if you are on medication, if not get to the nearest emergency room when you are having an attack. The same is true for an asthma attack. If you experience both at the same time, use your medication and go to the emergency room. If you are taking ventolin for asthma, you know that it may speed up your heart rate.
