d use my inhaler and I would get that instant relief us asthmatics feel. A few years ago I had an odd experience with my asthma, my chest was tight and I was very short of breath. My inhaler didn't do anything and nebulizer treatments didn't seem to help either.
After an hour I felt better but from that day on my breathing/asthma has never been the same.
I caught a cold about 2 weeks ago and I developed a sinus infection. I have a history of Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea and Sero-Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis. My best peak flow is 500. I am a 56 year old woman and was not on any preventative asthma meds at the time of catching the cold and development of the sinus infection.
I returned to the doctor again to express how difficult this was becoming to live with and for a different option to the Tudorza Air inhaler . I was given my third inhaler of Ventolin. This one helped the wheeze attacks when I was experiencing them but again as the months Corinne the wheeze and coughing has just becoming more and more increasing . I now have these attacks at all times of day and night every single day.
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?
I went to the doctor and was put on a nebulizer and diagnosed with allergies and acute bronchospasm. I was prescribed Flonase, Claritin, and an Albuterol inhaler to use when needed.
The symptoms went away for a few days (it seemed like after the first roach treatment) but now they are back. I noticed that they seemed to get better once they sprayed for roaches, but I also woke up with what seemed like dirt in my nostrils.
Family history: My sister & dad have rhinitis. My mom has chronic cough and her PCP said it’s allergic (don't have detail check-up). I had strong allergic reaction to Erythromycin (whole body & face swollen & covered by hives/rash) when I was a kid
Since 2010, I started feeling congested at night (bedtime & early morning) and okay in daytime. Occasionally took Claritin because of tickle in throat but nothing serious. Normal daily life & sleeping is fine.
The pediatrician has said her symptoms are from allergies so she has been on Zyrtec and Flonase for awhile now. That has helped in the past but for the last 4-5 months she is complaining of these symptoms even when she does not have a cold. He has also prescribed an inhaler that helps when she gets a bad coughing attack but she is still saying it is hard to breath in her throat. I am wondering if she has enlarged adnoids.
t call off but once or twice a year if that
i have a question i have been really healthy never had much breathing problems sense right
before Easter when i had really bad acid reflex had a stuffy nose off on over the winter thought it was from dairy products or might have been a side effect from the otc prilosec i was taking because i stopped the dairy and stopped taking the otc prilosec not knowing that it would have a rebound effect acid kept coming up in my throat when i was sleeping would c
I am using advair for my asthma and it seems to help with those symptoms and I also have a rescue inhaler Flovent. But i do clean my advair diskus before and after each use. I dont have any infections in my mouth or lung i just have the white mucus and it has only been happening for two months and I have been using the advair about a year now. I heard from someone that the white mucus could be from allergies...is that true?
He also has albuterol inhaler and Flonase. However, it does not work sometime like the last 2 nights. The flonase really made it worst so I stop. He has this about a year off and on, but worse when the weather change.I have air filter and huminifier at home as well.
Myself, I started having sinus issue only recently about 2-3 years. I have post nasal drop 2-3x per week. Sometime mild and sometime very bad.
//www.rxlist.com/flonase-side-effects-drug-center.htm - which is probably why your doctor said to stop using it.
If your cough got better using it, maybe it was helping some allergy symptoms, like post-nasal drip.
Did you ask your doctor what he meant, or try to clarify anything? Always feel free to ask questions and clarify anything you don't understand with your doctor.
(sorry) or if I take the steroid I can cough up huge yellow inch long mucus plugs. I take Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Flonase and singular, albuterol nebs and inhaler, also famotidine 2x daily I was on advair for 2months and he said stop because it did nothing for me other than change sputum from slimy to chunky and is quite pricey for no results.
I have been sick with this cold for 6weeks...I have been to the doctor 3 times ...1st time they gave me antibiotics and Flonase and gel caps for a bronc (don't know how to spell that). 2nd time she would not give me and antibiotic she gave me ear drops. 3rd time she gave me the zpak and a inhaler..Still really sick...I have taken so many over the counter cold meds... nothing...now my ears hurt my head hurts coughing still....has anyone had a cold that last this long....
Thus even though I have never needed a rescue inhaler and believed that I only had exercise induced asthma, I was prescribed my rescue inhaler ever 6 hours (xopenex) and a maintenence inhaler (asmanex) every night along with flonase and clariten. After taking all of these doses in addition to feeling jittery and lightheaded I started to develop stomach pain and heart burn symptoms. Has any one had similar symptoms?
Are any of you using something like Nasonex or Flonase? I do have a headache behind my eyes and feel tired a lot, but I had that before too. Common side effects of Nasonex are fatigue, headaches, a lowered immune system (not good) and others too. A few people I know who have used this for a year or more mentioned that they got palpitations, and one friend said his PVCs increased. But one can't be sure whether the PVCs increased because of the Nasonex.
//www.rxlist.com/flonase-drug.htm. Is this prescribed to decreases swelling or to attend to the sinus issue contributing to the swelling?
OK,
First post on forum. Diabetes for 7 years. Type 2 progressed to full insulin shortly. runs in the family.
Went to a new doctor today and was getting examined and he told me a new treatment was out. He said about an inhaler. Well I know about insulin inhalers but didn't know if they were used much. So I asked them if this was what he was talking about and he said no. He said the medicine reacted with your pancreas.
forgot to note:
He also noted that i had post-nasal drip. few days after seeming him, i had another one of those nights. hard to breath, no real wheezing , alburteral inhaler didn't do much. Called the pulmonologist in the morning. Gave my flonase and 6 days of steroids to take for my post nasal drip. he said that my post nasal drip was probably irritating my lungs pretty good and that the slight wheezing i had was coming from my vocal chords.
