Avatar n tn Xopenex® Inhalation Solution (levalbuterol) is a short acting inhaled medicine, a rescue medicine, with fewer side effects than similar medicines used for the relief of acute asthma symptoms. It is not a medicine well-suited for long term, sustained asthma control. There are other classes of asthma medicines, called controller medicines and these do not have the same excitatory side effects.
Avatar m tn amiodarone alternatives by butwhat, 48 minutes ago I was told bt a cardiologist that there is now a good alternative to amiodarone. I thought he was saying Amtak but apparently I was wrong. Any guesses as to what the medication is? I have my doubts that I should be on amiodarone with my lung issues. I have been getting kind of cloggy since I have been on it. Clearing my throat or feeling like I can't clear my throat. Will I receive email notification?

Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with migraine headaches 17 years ago. They cam and went around my period. As I had my first child the headaches became mor frequent and at one time I had had 63 days straight with pain. I was hospitalized and diagnosed with non-aura tension type headaches. I was then put on triptan type medications and was told to never take over-the-counter pain medication again.

3086858 tn?1340852861 I am still on a Levalbuterol oral inhaler. I was also getting facial hives, but they did not itch, I did not mention that to my doctor and from my reading I wonder if I should have. For the hives I was prescribed Zyrtec 10mg. Previously I had been taking Benadryl, but it was making me very tired and causing me to sleepwalk/sleep eat. Before that I took Loratidine 10mg as needed for allergy symptoms.
1398693 tn?1343684738 Thank You for your reply Dr. Tinkelman, I don't have to exercise for my chest to get heavy I also wake up in the middle of the night short of breath and with a heavy chest I really don't have to do anything to bring it on. Also my heart has been checked out and I'm glad to say that my heart is in great shape I've had a stress test with 2D echo done to check my heart.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your help. The inflammation is getting a bit better but the underlying cyst seems totally unchanged. Is there a likelihood this doesn't go away?
Avatar f tn I got Injections of corticosteroids for fetal lung development 2 weeks ago (2 shots, 24 hours apart). I know that betamethazone is another one that is used for that. The only side effect I had the first night was I went to bed at 11:00pm (as usual) and woke up at 4:30am and wasn't able to fall back asleep. The next day I got the shot and I felt a little anxious like I had to be busy and keep moving (lasted about an hour) and I again was up early, but at 5:00am or so.
Avatar n tn So I went to the doctor and they gave me a Steroid Shot, the bumps and itchy red patches went away for a few weeks, then they came back.. I have scars there now.. Well, I went back to the doctor, they gave me another steroid shot, they went away again for a couple weeks, then came back. I was about fed up by this point, so I went to a dermatologist, and BTW this is like 5 monthes later...
Avatar m tn I was getting kenalog epidurals for my sciatica. It worked well except it is a steroid and it enlarged my stomach into a "beer belly" I finally gave up on it.
Avatar f tn I have a concern. I'm taking a steroid pack for a bad cold and we are trying to get pregnant. I'm felling better but how long should we wait to try again? Or is it ok to keep trying with this in my system? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn finally to follow the protocol and to bury the dead..you can go for a 3 month test(which I think is not necessary in your case)....
Avatar n tn //www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/features/stubborn-cough#1. I think following up with your doctor at the end of taking Bactrim if you are still coughing would be a good idea to get their guidance. But likely, it's the dreaded lingering cough. Let us know how you are doing.
Avatar n tn i think i've only been on hydrocortisone for about 2-2 1/2 years, so hopefully my adrenals will kick back in. are you telling me that the hydrocortisone can cause anxiety and depression as a side effect sometimes? if that is so---i probably would be especially susceptible since i've had problems with both of them off and on for years, mostly depression, the kind of anxiety i have been having now i have not had in a really long time.
1761635 tn?1313167813 For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used, whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid. Symptoms can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin. During the day, hydrate and protect hands with a protective and moisturizing cream. At night, repair them with creams formulated from glycolic acid—a must for improving skin texture and tone.
Avatar f tn Hi Andie, It is indeed possible to have a low-grade, less aggressive form of RA. Each person who has it is different in terms of symptoms and treatment, however all the symptoms you've listed are possible with RA. Your muscle pain could be a result of tensing them unconsciously to protect the sore joints, or you could have fibromyalgia as well as the RA. it's not uncommon for both to occur together.
Avatar f tn Hello. What is considered baseline asthma? Is a person on a rescue inhaler and a everyday steroid considered baseline?
Avatar m tn Some patients develop steroid-induced rosacea within weeks of applying a topical steroid; others may not experience it for years. You can use tacrolimus ointment for this after consulting a dermatologist.Using this rosacea often resolves the itch, redness, and tenderness of steroid-induced rosacea in 7 to 10 days with twice daily application. Complete clearing of steroid-induced rosacea usually takes 1 to 2 months. Sometimes clearing takes a bit longer.
Avatar f tn Ringworm won't look like a pimple- so I don't think the pimple is really associated, it's like just a pimple that will heal up. If you haven't seen it clear up with the creams your doctor gave you, I'd recommend heading back to your doctor to have a second look- I'd lean more towards it's likely eczema if the cream you were given didn't clear it up.
