I have always had asthma that is agrivated when I get sick. Well yesterday I went to the doctor because I was certain I had pneumonia. However, the doctor told me that it is my asthma and it was triggered by allergies.

I never want to feel this way again, especially without infection. Does anyone know a good way to manage allergies and asthma without using drugs that make you tired (benedryl) or have horrible side effects (prednisone)?

Thank you all.

He was coughing a lot and lost almost 3 lbs. When I took him to the vet they said he had an infection in his lungs and gave him antibiotics. Three weeks later they took more xrays and said it had not cleared up much so it must be asthma. Now he is on both an antibiotic and steroids. I have lost confidence in my vet. I feel like they are just guessing. Has anyone had a similar situation? What do you suggest?

I’m not, and never have been, overweight for my height and I’ve struggled for several years with forms of disorded eating. Following a chest infection around Easter, my asthma worsened considerably, but it has not improved again as it usually would have. I’m wondering if a concurrent weight-loss of around a stone might have had an effect on my asthma.

I’ve tried to research this myself, but a Google search only brings up reams of stuff on being overweight with asthma.

I ran out of rescue inhalers and refused an EKG test for asthma, and ask for a prescription for albuteral and they wrote in my record patient refused medical exam and asking for medicine. I have never in my life before been offered an EKG test for asthma. Does that sound unusual, because normally they just listen to my lungs and give me a nebulizer treatment.
No I was going to switch health care providers because I moved, and they scared me away so I guess I wont be going back to that place again.

My chest is sort of tight, but I feel really lightheaded. Been cleaning the attic where I’m encountering a lot of dust, which I’m allergic to. Had to take a short break b/c I feel kind of lightheaded. I’m not gasping for air or anything. Just tight in the chest.

Is it common that an asthma attack could happen and you just feel a little tightness and also lightheaded?

I cough so much sometimes that I can’t breathe. I don’t have the normal wheezing that you hear about. I was just diagnosed with asthma a few years ago. After having an undiagnosed cough for a year.

A shy coworker had a severe asthma attack and you watched her fighting for each breath until the ambulance came to take her to the hospital. She was out for a few days and then returned to work. She’s always been quiet and fairly shy, but her first day back she was even more so.

What goes on mentally/psychologically while you’re recovering from a severe asthma attack?

I have been treated with drugs for asthma for a year now. I have all the symptoms and get regular attacks which require use of a nebulizer in the doctor’s office, but the doctor has never done a spirometry. Is this unusual?

I’m 90% sure I have asthma, though I haven’t been to the doctor to confirm it yet (I have an appointment for later this week). I hate taking medicine of any kind, for any reason. I don’t take pills when I have a headache, and I don’t usually take antibiotics when I’m sick either, I like to let things work themselves out. (I’m not asking for a lecture on that subject, so don’t even bother.)

I’m sure I could discuss this with my doctor, but I’m thinking she’ll probably push some sort of generic medication, as doctors typically do, so that’s why I’m asking here. Other than pills, what are some good treatment options for asthma?
Oh, I forgot to mention that a friend of mine suggested that placing eucalyptus in my room might help a bit. Does anyone know if that’s true or not?

My son has had asthma since he was three years old. The doctors keep telling us that he will grow out of it, he is now twelve. He is on Singulair, Loratadine, and Advair diskus 500/50. He gets pneumonia at least 2 times a year and is hospitalized each time. He seems to get worse in the fall and winter and is all together fine in the summer. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do that will help him in the winter?
