Can you be in the navy seals while having asthma?

I am a former Navy Seal. It obviously depends on how severe the asthma is.

Asthma is not a disqualifying condition for enlistment in any branch of the military.

How much do you get from a military medical discharge for mild asthma?

If the asthma was recorded on the original enlistment physical, it will be seen as a pre-existing condition, resulting in what the VA calls "0% Disability." That means a condition is there, but the vet receives no compensation. On the other hand, if there is no history of asthma in your medical records pre-enlistment, and the service member has served in jobs or areas where duty could be proven to contribute to the condition, a disability rating of up to 30% could be possible. Requirement for full-time maintenance medication would be required for the 30% rating, more likely 10 or 20%. A 30% rating with one dependent these days is $384 monthly - tax free.

What body systems are affected by valley fever and if you have Hep C and Asthma what are the risk if you get valley fever?

At first only the lungs are affected. If not treated it can spread. Having Hep C and asthma will not make the likelihood of getting Valley fever more so. But Asthma can become worse. Hep C will only make a person feel worse. More and more cases are showing up in the dry SW.

Valley fever is a fungal infection caused by coccidioides fungi. It can cause fever, chest pain and coughing, among other signs and symptoms.

Two species of coccidioides fungi cause valley fever and are commonly found in the soil and can be stirred into the air by farming, construction and wind. The fungi can then be breathed into the lungs and cause valley fever, also known as acute coccidioidomycosis.

Mild cases of valley fever usually resolve on their own.

In more severe cases, doctors prescribe antifungal medications.

Valley fever is the initial form and can develop into chronic and disseminated coccidioidomycosis.

Will a hot shower help an asthma attack?

Yes, steam from a hot shower is an alternative medical method for relieving bronchospasm from an asthma attack. The steam will help the muscle and bronchospasm to relax, partially relieving the symptoms of the asthma attack.

However, it must be noted that the priority treatment for an asthma attack is to administer the prescribed bronchodilator, usually by means of an inhaler. Common bronchodilators include salbutamol, terbutaline sulfate and adrenalin.

If a patient presents with signs of an asthma attack, ask them to stop what they are doing, rest, and administer the prescribed medication. Be prepared to have medical assistance dispatched should the condition worsen.

Reassuring the patient, as opposed to putting them in a hot shower, can often be more effective. Keeping the patient calm, free from stress and panic will lessen the need to breathe erratically making the patient feel less short of breath.

Monitor the patient closely and administer a second dose of the medication if the condition does not improve within five minutes. Call for urgent medical backup if the patient can no longer speak due to lack of air, has gone unconscious or complains that the asthma attack is the worse they have ever had.

What causes asthma if it is not genetic?

Asthma is a bronchial hypersensitive disorder characterized by reversible airway obstruction caused by a combination of mucosal edema, constriction of the bronchial musculature and excessive secretion of viscid mucus.

In asthma, there is a continuous state of hyperreactivity of the bronchi, during which exposure to a wide variety of bronchial irritants will precipitate an asthmatic attack.

In normal subjects, inhalation of histamine or carbachol may cause a little

increase in airway resistance. By contrast, the bronchi of the patients with asthma

are highly reactive and show marked bronchoconstriction in response to these substances. This phenomenon is termed bronchial hyperreactivity. I suggest that you should consult to expert for health advice. A TCM service platform for public health which may help to solve your problems is recommended to you.

What happens to you if you spray an asthma pump on your body?

I actually tried it once , and it depends how many times you do it? I did it about 7 times on each leg (just out of curiosity) and at first it burned, then it hurts, and then after a while it gets dark and flakey, then it turns into a recrangular mark, however my friend thought it was cool, having your doctor sending you to a therapist because he thinks he has "mental" issues; so she then sprays herself 20 times on her wrist and it was sooo bad. It was litterally a burn mark, instead being left with a mark, she now has a uplifted scar. So no, i wouldnt recommend it.
