Symbicort for exercise induced asthma
Common Questions and Answers about Symbicort for exercise induced asthma
symbicort
So...in short, I've had asthma since I was 5. I am now 27 so pretty much my whole life. I have moderately severe stress-induced asthma so flare ups are rare but my lung capacity isn't the greatest. My first pregnancy, I was fine until my 3rd trimester because of my daughter taking up my lung space more or less.
This pregnancy, my asthma has flared up for weeks and has gone from moderately severe to severe.
a month ago, ive started doing vigorous exercises which led me to be diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. the pulmonologist gave me some medicines to take e.g montelukast, ventolin inhaler and symbicort. Xray for the sinus and chest were also ordered which resulted to bilateral nasal congestion and clear chest. The problem is, I have been experiencing symptom of dizziness. Its been a month now and I could not take it anymore. As if I am floating always.
Could be a case of exercise induced asthma. Moving around and being active even can trigger tightness and shortness of breath with asthma. Allergies can also be triggering it, but I would talk to your allergist how much since you said your only slightly allergic. I am severely allergic to cats and dogs off the charts, have asthma, and currently have a dog and a cat. So far I can't tell whether they are setting my asthma off or not.
Do you take any kind of medicine for your asthma? I have asthma myself and used to have sharp pains when I would take a very deep breath but since I have been useing Advair ,I haven't done that . There is only one draw back to Advair and that is, it is expensive even with my insurance the copay on it is over $50.00 a month but it does improve my breathing so I guess you fight one evil with another.
Hi I have had a cough now for about 10 weeks and so has my son I have also been suffering from asthma like symptoms my doctor believes I have 'viral induced asthma' and has prescribed me with ventolin. This does make breathing easier but can I become dependent on it even once the virus has gone? Many thanks in advance for advice.
trying to get back to it now I'm healthy again. My problem is that since I started exercising I've started to feel really weak, sometimes for days afterwards (pale along with it) and once almost fainted during exercise.
Actually some doctors consider exercise induced asthma to be a mild form of asthma itself. For normal asthma sufferers having problems after exercising is a sign that their asthma is out of control. It is also the last thing to clear up, when the asthma is getting back into control. I do agree that being out of shape can cause breathlessness while exercising. I have always found that running exacerbates my asthma the most as it is the most intense activity you can do to set it off.
I was wondering if anyone who has exercise induced asthma could tell me what their symptoms are and how it differs from someone with regular asthma.... I have been mountain biking and exercising for over 3 years and my cardio/endurance has very very slowy gotten better compared to other riders of my skill and age for that matter. I am 27 years old male 5'10 200 pounds.
I had asthma as a child and was on daily meds for excercise induced asthma. i never had a very bad attack i just would have to sit down for awhile. The symptoms all but went away when i was 18 so when i was 20 i joined the U.S. Marine Corps. After 2 years the symptoms came back during a deployment last year, much worse than they had ever been. Now I am a liability to my fellow marines and cannot fullfill my duties as an infantryman.
Symbicort does not cause "soaring" blood sugars. Consult your enchronologist. You may need to go to an injectable insulin, such as Lantus.
Hi. I was looking for similar information except my situation is different. Im a medium smoker (for 9 years now) and smoke a joint every night (4 years). I take symbicort once in the mornings (9 years) and smoke about 14 ciggs per working day (after im high ill only have 2 cigarettes in 4 hours). I have asthma and mild chronic bronchitis. I know that my bronchitis is caused by my smoking, and fueled by my post-nasal drip. Its really just fluids.
I have been diagnosed with exercise-indiced asthma--take Symbicort and Albuterol, as well as reflux, which I control by diet. I always make sure my stomach is almost empty when I exercise, and take an antacid before, but the symptoms can still occur if the weather is particularly hot, or if I push more than normal. The doctor seems unwilling to do more tests--just tells me me keep up with the medicine. I have had a chest X-ray that come back normal.
I am a 32 year old male with a somewhat mild case of asthma, and I take symbicort and albutoral as medication. I hate it. I recently developed some PVCs (heart palpatations), and I would really like to use a long term asthma controller in place of the symbicort that does not have increased heart rate as a side effect.
Are there any somewhat effective asthma medications (long term controller, not rescue inhaler) that do not have increased heart rate as one of the side effects?
About 12 weeks ago I caught bronchitis, then wildfires broke out near my home that made the air unhealthy for about 2 weeks. This provoked a severe asthma attack -- for three weeks. Treatment proceeded thus:
1. 1 week Medrol plus Symbicort (60 mg). Little effect - my lung function was at 74%.
2. 10 -day course of .875 MG Augmentin with pulmicort + albuterol nebulizer treatments, and Nasonex. Some improvement -- lung function up to 81%.
3.
If you cough, wheeze or feel out of breath during or after exercise, it may be more than exertion causing your symptoms. You might have exercise-induced asthma. As with asthma triggered by other things, exercise-induced asthma symptoms occur when your airways tighten and produce extra mucus."

About a week ago, my doctor gave me a sample of Symbicort 160/4.5 to try once in the morning and once at night. For the first 3 days on it, I needed to use my rescue inhaler only once which is a vast improvement for me. Usually I need about 4-6 puffs daily. I also greatly improved my diet a few weeks ago (no sugar, bread, coffee, fried foods, etc.). I've craved sweets my entire life and would often go on sugar binges that would make the average person sick to their stomach.
