What happens if you use an inhaler when you don't need it?
It will make you jittery for 20-30 minutes and make your heart race.
Asmanex is a steroid and can cause infections in your throat. Albuterol is the most well known asthma medication and that is what is referred to above.
Or you nose could sting and your throat will get sore.
What are some medicines for asthma?
You normally have two inhalers. One is used daily and is called a preventative, this is usually brown in colour and contains a mild steroid to stop excess mucus and inflamation in the lungs. One drug used is Budesomide. The other is used when you feel short of breath or have a asthma attack. This is usually blue and contains bronchodilaterial drugs that help to open up the air ways ,one is called Salbutamol but there are various different brand names.

i have found that breathing problems are caused by dust and allergies if anyone around you smokes that my also be a cause of why or how you have or caught breathing problems this may be true for you and it may not be but it is for me
What is the meaning of reversal of the cervical curvature?
Muscle spasm usually straightens the natural curve in the cervical lordis. Massage, physical therapy, and acupuncture are potential treatments for this condition.
What systems does a asthma attack affect?
The body system that is affected by athsma is the respiratory system. when you have asthma your brochioles get inflamed causing it to be hard to breathe. therefore you have to have an antiinflamatory puffer.
Should you see a doctor if you think you have asthma?
Yes you should. For both asthma and allergies, a doctor in general practice may not recognize allergies. Some doctors do recognize and treat allergies while others do not. An allergist (sometimes listed as "Allergies and Immunology") specializes in this particular area and are up-to-date (we hope! As in some countries, allergists don't even know what anaphylaxis is.) on treatments. As with any doctor, it is good to get recommendations from your doctor, friends, or professional organizations. If you are uncomfortable with one allergist, try another. For children, there are allergists who specialize in pediatric allergies or advertise that they treat children. Though any allergist can treat adults or children, it sometimes helps to have one who definitely *likes* children and respects the differences between adults and children.
ASTHMA: Pediatricians seem reluctant to use the term asthma. This bugs my allergist (and me), because he feels it precludes proper treatment sometimes. If you see any asthma symptoms and are poo-pooed by the pediatrician, see an allergist! This seems most often the case with an allergic kid who coughs every morning. I've heard MANY stories of pediatricians who, at most, tell parents to use an antihistamine (worse, cold medicine; worst, don't worry). Then the child ends up in acute distress in the hospital!
Allergists are most up to date on asthma treatment, which really matters. Allergists can often pinpoint particular allergens to avoid, from testing or only history! Allergists will tell you which environmental changes to make.
i completely agree with that entire answer and an asthma allergy doctor i recommend is Lisa Barociano (i don't really know how to spell the last name) She is a great doctor and is located in east hanover
Yet another answer!
You should definetly see an allerrgist or a doctor. When I was twelve my doctor gave my cough syrup and a week later I was rushed to hospital after running a mile!
The best way to find a reliable doctor to help you with your child's asthma is by going to YourCity.MD. There are patient testimonials, doctor ratings, and much more which make it easy to find the right doctor for you and your child. I really suggest it!
Heart rate of 3 year old child with fever?
The heart rate of a three year old child with fever will beat faster than usual. It is therefore important to take such the child to seek medical attention as far.
it is when the trees in you lunges star swelling and inflating so not that much oxygen gos through, so you get shortness of breath. you can get ashma if one of your parents had it . ashma usually runs in the family. like i got ashma because my mom had it. usually ashma will com in until your 11 or 12 years old. i was 12 when i got my ashma. if you got ashma got to the doctor to get prescription for an inhaler.ashma is when you dont have enought oxygen in you.
What should you do if you start experiencing asthma symptoms?
ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH MEDICAL QUESTIONS, DO NOT TRUST INTERNET ANSWERS WITH YOUR LIFE. Consult your primary care physician. He may futher refer you to a pulmonologist (lung doctor).
When did someone die from asthma?
It is not possible to know who was first diagnosed with Asthma as there was no record of the person's name or identity. Asthma was first officially recorded as a medical condition or problem in 450BC by Hippocrates in Greece.
Asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the airways. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. It affects 7% of the United States, 5% of British people, and a total of 300 million worldwide. Athsma also causes 250,000 deaths per year worldwide.
As far I have not been able to get a straight answer whether asthma can be inherited of not. What I find in http://www.asthmastory.com/ is asthma can be attributed to a virus and can be cured. In that case it should not be hereditary. However any useful comments will be appreciated.
Can you take morphine if you have asthma?
Just researching this very question tonight. I have a friend in the hospital, and tonight, they administered morphine to help her breathing. I had never heard this either. She does have cancer and is about to begin treatment.
How do you assess a patient with asthma?
Asthma is never automatically diagnosed after a single visit or what not. It is diagnosed after observing certain symptoms over a period of time. There are multiple diseases that are present in a patient that could have asthma... such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, or simple symptoms such as prolonged wheezing. There are many tests that a pulmonologist can gather to help determine if the patient has asthma or not. For example, the doctor observes the patient's response to Bronchodilators/corticosterioids. He or she can order pulmonary function test (PFT) to measure how well the lungs are able to take in and exhale air.
Can Barometric pressure effect asthma?
During an asthma attack, your bronchioles (tubes that carry air into your lungs) constrict and air cannot pass through them as freely. In order to make up for this loss in cross sectional area, a person needs to breathe harder to get enough oxygen. The way you do that is to expand your thoracic wall with more force (when you breathe, your muscles stretch your rib cage out and air is sucked in through your trachea and into your bronchioles, eventually making its way into your alveoli where gas exchange occurs). This creates a negative pressure in the thoracic cavity at a greater magnitude than normal. Increased negative pressure in the thoracic cavity will result in decreased filling of the left ventricle of your heart because the blood will preferentially remain in the lung due to the negative pressure "sucking" it back as opposed to moving into the left atrium (the left atrium holds the blood before it enters the left ventricle, which is the chamber that pumps blood out to the peripheral parts of your body such as your arms, legs, and head). This decreased end diastolic volume (volume in the ventricle after it has finished filling) is going to result in a lower stroke volume (volume of blood expelled from the heart during contraction). If you have a lower stroke volume, you are not pushing as much blood into your arteries and the pressure will, naturally, be lower than normal. Your body will try to compensate for this decrease in pressure by increasing heart rate (known as the baroreceptor reflex) and by constricting arterioles to increase peripheral resistance, but these efforts are not enough to fully counteract the effects of the pulsus paradoxus. Thus, during an asthma attack your blood pressure will be decreased.
What do you use to treat asthma?
You can try various natural remedies. For instance herb ginkgo was used for treating asthma for centuries. Magnesium may make you feel better, also. Of course, you should know that the first step to treat asthma is visiting your doctor.
What are the different types of inhaler?
The main types of asthma inhalers are:
• Preventer
• Reliever
The forms in which they come in are:
• Inhalers (some are used with spacer devices)
• Dry power
• Nebulisers
Preventer
These asthma inhalers are used to prevent any symptoms from occurring in the long run. If you are experiencing any asthma symptoms and take this inhaler, you will find that it does not have any effect.
It takes hours or sometimes longer to have any effect on preventing symptoms from occurring. Preventers should be taken normally like any other inhaler.
The doses are usually two puffs in the morning and two in the evening, however you should follow the
instructions given from your physician/doctor as recommended.
They come in different colours and some are stronger than others. The one which I use is called (Beclazone 50 inhaler preventer) is very weak, but it does the trick and I do not feel the need to get a stronger substitute.
If you feel your inhaler has no effect for you, then you should inform your physician/doctor in which they should provide maybe a stronger one.
Sometimes inhalers have no effect because they are not taken correctly. Look at the tips above on how to take it correctly for best results.
Reliever
Relievers are used to treat asthma symptoms instantly such as; breathlessness or wheezing (caused by the narrowing of the airways).
It is the opposite use for preventers in which it takes immediate effect to calm inflammation and eliminate mucus build up, which relaxes the airways and makes it easier to breathe.
These inhalers should not be needed regularly if your asthma is kept under control. However you should ALWAYS have one with you in case of an emergency.
If you are using your reliever very often, example in every two hours or so, then you should consult your doctor because your asthma is not being kept under control.
If you do not try to control your condition you are risking an asthma attack.
It is a good idea to have a reliever at work as well in case you forgot to take one with you.
Spacer device
The Spacer device is a plastic cylinder which is design to make the metered doses inhaler easier for use.
There are varies types of spacer devices. A face mask is also used in addition with the spacer device for
young children for easier use.
Dry powered inhaler
This type of inhaler does not require a canister in order to use it. Instead of spraying the medication into your mouth, you suck it in. This treatment is made in a powdered form.
The inhaler is design to give the right amount of powder for each dose.
There is a different type which is made by different companies. This type of inhaler requires you to breathe in fairly hard to get the effect of the medication. Thus it would not be suitable for younger children.
I have used the powdered inhaler and I was very impress with the results.
Nebuliser
Nebuliser device is used to produce aerosol vapor for the lungs. A face mask is required in which you breathe in as normal.
This type of device is usually used for patients who are suffering from an asthma attack and needs immediate treatment to clam the attack and relax the airways in order to get more oxygen into the body.
The device is kept with paramedics and in hospitals for emergency use only.
What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic asthma?
instric asthma is when you dont need an inhaler exinstric asthma is when you do need an inhaler Traditionally, doctors have divided asthma into two general categories, Extrinsic (allergic) asthma and Intrinsic (non-allergic) asthma, depending upon the types of stimuli that trigger attacks. Extrinsic asthma is caused by an immune system response to inhaled allergens such as pollen, animal dander or dust mite particles. An allergen (or an antigen) is a foreign particle that enters the body. The immune system over-reacts to these often harmless items, forming antibodies, which are normally used to attack viruses or bacteria. Intrinsic asthma is not allergy-related and is caused by anything except an allergy. It may be caused by inhalation of chemicals such as cigarette smoke or cleaning agents, taking aspirin, a chest infection, stress, laughter, exercise, cold air, food preservatives or a myriad of other factors. The terms intrinsic and extrinsic asthma have now been replaced by terms related to the asthma trigger, since the inflammatory response of the airways is the same independent of the cause of the asthma. What was known as extrinsic asthma is now called allergic asthma, while asthma triggered by non-allergic factors, formerly called intrinsic asthma, is separated into such categories as exercise-induced asthma and occupational (chemical- induced) asthma. Inhalers may be prescribed for both allergic asthma (extrinsic) and non-allergic asthma (intrinsic).
Can asthma attack be triggered by aerosol sprays?
YES!! • bladder problems or difficulty passing urine
• glaucoma
• heart disease or irregular heartbeat
• prostate trouble
• an unusual or allergic reaction to ipratropium, atropine, bromides, soya protein, peanut oil, soybeans or peanuts, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
• pregnant or trying to get pregnant
• breastfeeding • difficulty breathing, wheezing, increased shortness of breath
• chest pain or fast heartbeat
• fever or other signs of infection
• headache (severe)
• skin rash or hives
• swelling of the lips, tongue or face
• vomiting
• blurred vision
• cough
• difficulty passing urine
• dizziness
• dry mouth
• headache
• mouth ulcers
• nausea
• stuffy nose
• unusual taste or metallic taste in your mouth
Beta2-microglobulin is a protein found on the surface of many cells. Testing is done primarily when evaluating a person for certain kinds of cancer affecting white blood cells.
What is the Best thing for chest congestion?
If you are congested, a type of medicine called an expectorant will help loosen the congestion so you can more easily cough it up. Many cough medicine preparations contain expectorant medication. One of the expectorant ingredients that works best for my family is called Guaifenesin. Read the label on the cough medicines and pick one with that as the active ingredient. There are also longer acting tablets with guaifenesin as the active ingredient available also over the counter called Mucinex. Both of these types of medicine have been recommended by many health care professionals during the pandemic.
Can propranolol be given to patient with asthma and hypertension?
No propranolol can not be given to patient with asthma, because it increase the bronchial resistance by blocking B2 receptors which consistently worsen asthma, which may even trigger a severe asthma attack.
Is it true that marijuana is the best medicine for asthma?
The inhalation of cannabis smoke causes bronchial dilation making breathing easier and lasting up to one hour. The bronchodilator effect of orally injested THC lasts up to six hours, but is not so powerful as smoking cannabis. Other research demonstrates that THC defends against the encroachment of emphysema and suppresses coughing.
Why does people who have asthma have difficulty breathing?
I have the same problem! I read somewhere of what it's called. but heres a site that has helped me a lot. my mom showed it to me. Very great. ~mmfwcl~
