Asthma

They may lower your immune response so that you don't achieve full immunity from exposure, if the steroid dose is high enough. Contact a local pharmacist and tell them what you take and they can help you with more details and recommendations with your specific medical condition and medical history in mind. Ask them also about taking flu vaccinations while on your current medications.

See the link to the site below in the related links section for more information on using steroids for asthma, which includes the following information:

One of the actions of prednisone is to weaken the body's immune system. This effect is beneficial when treating allergies or so-called "autoimmune" diseases like arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. However, whenever you weaken the immune system, you increase the body's susceptibility to infection.

Prednisone does not make an individual more likely to get a flu or catch a cold. But, it can increase susceptibility to chickenpox (varicella) and other herpes viruses. Individuals, who have recovered from tuberculosis, or TB, can experience reactivation of the disease when on prednisone. If you have not previously had chickenpox, tell your doctor. Do not take prednisone if you have tuberculosis (active or inactive), shingles or other herpes infection of eyes, lips, or genitals. You should not be vaccinated against any infectious disease while you are on prednisone especially live polio vaccine. Allergy skin tests and TB skin tests will usually be invalid while you are on prednisone. A small number of patients on prednisone develop yeast infections of the mouth (thrush) or vagina. Fortunately, effective medications are available to combat this problem should it occur.

If you don't have a full response from exposure, you could still be at risk of getting the flu, so you will need to also continue to use other precautionary methods, such as frequent hand washing and other preventive recommendations.

Asthmatics are already among those in the high risk groups whether taking steroids or not, and you would be more likely to have pulmonary complications of the lung infection with or without that medication.

If you do get the flu, be in close communication with your doctor in case they determine you need anti-viral medications (most effective if given in 48 hours after the symptoms start), and to quickly intervene if you begin having symptoms of complications.

Probably not because like you gotta go out of the atmosphere and that if u had a breathing problem then, you would have to like abort the mission or something if u got an asthma attack.

Yes, this comes under Mental Health Care and seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist would be to your best interest. A psychiatrist studies more about drugs and less about human nature, but a psychologist studies more about human nature and can't prescribe drugs, but if they feel you warrant a medication they can contact your doctor.

You shouldn't. If you do, it is probably about something else, not the asthma attack. But I'm no expert ;)

The first step to relieve an asthma attack is to use your quick-acting bronchodilator (such as albuterol). The usual dose is 2 puffs, breathed slowly and deeply.

Yeah, he admits it in Ghost Adventures Season 2.

if your asma has gotten worse it may mean that one of your triggers is occurring if it has gotten significantly worse i suggest u start doing nebulizers or inhalers every say 4 or 5 hours not through the night unless its that bad until you see improvement then do one inhaler/nebulizer in the morning when u wake up then one at night before you go to bed and that should kick the problem out

Asthma does not always present itself in the same way for each person or even the same way each time experienced for a single person. Severity of the symptoms can also change between attacks. The most common symptoms people experience when suffering from asthma include coughing; wheezing; shortness of breath; feeling tired or weak during exercise; and chest tightness, pain or pressure. If you're concerned if you may have asthma it is best to consult your physician to either rule out asthma or to come up with possible treatment plans to help limit the likelihood of any worse asthma reactions in the future.

Some consider euthanasia to be contentious. Similarly, 'right to life' vs. 'right of choice' is a very contentious issue.

Yes, without question the symptoms of asthma change with the seasons. The reason: because asthma is, in part, an inflammatory condition, there are a huge number of environmental factors (e.g., being around cigarette smoke) that can exacerbate asthma. Since environmental factors change as the seasons change, it makes sense that asthma symptoms would too. Things that typically cause seasonal allergies (e.g., pollen) can exacerbate asthma. The relative humidity can also contribute to asthma symptoms, and since, depending on where you live, the humidity changes with the season, asthma can thus change with the seasons.

I had asthma for more that 40 years before I discovered certain herbs that helped me rid myself of the death defying disease, and I accomplished this in 30 days just with herbs...

asthma can kill you when your airways close up and don't re-open. the lugs could also close preventing the person from breathing. this is called an asthma attack. but it does not always kill people.

It is medical practice that medications that are expired not be used. However, in an emergency it is better to use an expired terbutaline sulphate inhaler than to do nothing.

The main objective of expiry dates is for drug companies to get you to dispose of stock and buy more allowing them to make more profit. However, the level of effectiveness of the medication may decline with time.

It is therefore advisable, despite the low risk of taking expired medications, to always abide by the expiry date.

There have been many people that have experienced improvement with their Asthma after going through a series of breathing exercise. These are said to increase breath control and decrease attacks. However, there is very little medical evidence to back this up.

hi joey if you see this your brain starts to turn larger and later your brain will fall apart

yes he does.......he takes medication for it(aspanol)

since im assuming ur a male and concious of your penis size, here are some basic foundations.

Penis size is actually not that big of a deal as most men have enough "stuff" to please a woman already.

The average size of and erect penis is 6.5 inches.

If you really do want to enlargen you penis, try jelqing. This is a method of which with and erect penis, you create and OK sign with your hands and grasp the base of your penis with the "circle" (thumb and forefinger). Then slowly, slide your ok sign form the base to the tip of you penis. Ensure that a bit of pressure is maintained during this excercise. I do recommend using lubrication. This excercise works because it channels the blood near the top of your penis, enlargening the "spongy" chambers in it.

Also, use this same techinque but in an upward, downward, left and right direction.

happy enlarging :)

Like humans it's unwise to diagnose ourselves and that's what doctors are for. Please take your pet into a veterarian right away and have tests done. Meanwhile, keep your pet away from your husbands smoke. If the pet has asthma smoke is one bad factor, but I highly doubt unless your husband is a chain smoker that this is creating any discomfort for your pet. Please see out the advice of your veterinarian. Good Luck Marcy Was your dog in a kennel recently, could be kennel cough which makes them hoarse.

Formoterol is a complex drug marketed in four different forms, a dry powder, a metered dose, an oral tablet, and an inhalation solution. It helps control asthma attacks and COPD.

Inhalers are a must, especially if the child experiences asthma attacks. Inhalers usually contain a steroid medication that will cut an attack short. There are other medications that can be used to treat asthma -- there is no cure, just treatment.

Theophylline, it acts as a bronchodilator to reverse the bronchoconstriction associated with asthma.

It is probably because that medicine isn't for you. I took Atshmanex for a couple of months and the same thing happened to me. I also have tried prednisone in my day and it was not good to me. Don't give up. Trust me, you haven't tried everything out there. Flovent HFA is what I am taking now and it is doing great.

If this is an emergency this is the wrong place. I suggest you call the emergency room and ask.

Liberty medical is the largest, and most popular. You've seen their ads on t.v. and they deliver diabetes products right to your door. There are also local supply stores you can purchase your medication from. Another good supply chain is called diabetes store, which offer testing strips and supplies, like diabetic shoes, socks, insulin reminder calenders, etc.
