Issue Always taking my inhaler...nothing seems to help my asthma...any1 had sucess kicking chronic bronchitis/asthma Best Tip If you are "always" using your rescue inhaler, your asthma is not under control and this can be very dangerous, especially with chronic bronchitis as well. You need to see a pulmonary specialist as soon as humanly possible and get treatment that gives your real control over your disease. You should be using a peak flow meter several times a day and documenting the results. If no one has instructed you in this basic, you aren't getting adequate care and need a different caregiver as well. Often you will see your numbers dropping while you are still feeling fine and you can prevent or lessen attacks before they happen. If you have to use an inhaler several times a day, whatever therapy you are on is simply not effective. You may need to add other inhalers, nebulizers, steroids and other medications to get good control. and may need to change things in your environment as well. Asthma is not just a nuisance. One bad attack can kill you, so please call a doctor as soon as possible. My asthma, by the way, wasn't diagnosed until my 40's. It took a good pulmonologist to find a program that works and I have not had a severe attack in years. So yes, you can control the illness. Some pro athletes have asthma. Others no the damage is already done i had chronic bronchitis 2 times a yr for 15 yrs got rid of it when i moved to the desert from minnesota the dryer air really does help havent had a episode for 8 yrs now i couldnt be happier Nope I have the same with also Copd,it all started with a fungus that also killed my immune system do you drink beer.? i am allergic to hops and barley. it triggerred major asthma attacks. quit drinking. it went away. Read the sections on asthma in Murray & Pizzorno's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, and in Balch & Stengler's Prescription For Natural Cures. They are full of excellent expert discussion of the condtions you describe and offer a huge amount of good advice. Let's Get Well, by Adelle Davis, is also good. Good luck! have you ever tryed this new inhaler called advair discus. i too haveashma/ bronchitus . the inhaler left me weezeing. with my discus 1 in the morn 1 at nite , with my inhaler also i can even play ball with my son. maybe your doctor can set you up with pulmanary doc.. good- luck |
