Q&A: About a mild case of asthma?
Question by eoeo: About a mild case of asthma?
When I was 15 a Doctor told me I had a mild case of asthma. He gave me an inhaler and sent me on my way. A few months later I went back for something not related to asthma and the Doctor asked if I smoked. I said yes and he said well I am taking you off the inhaler until you stop smoking. I never went back and never got another inhaler. I am 28 now and am just wondering if a mild case of asthma can go this long without getting worse. I do get out of breath sometimes doing small things and big things. It really depends. I have a cold now and noticed yesterday that when I would take a breath in it was tight and kinda like brathing through a straw. That lasted for about 20 minutes. I go see my new Doctor soon but I am wondering if a mild case of asthma gets worse without treatment. It’s been 13 years since and never had a severe attack or anything like that. Also my Grandpa (mom’s dad) died of lung cancer and my Dad has emphazema and yet still smokes. How likely is it that my asthma got worse?
Best answer:
Answer by BeetleMama
Unreal, the doctor took you off medication because you smoke? that’s a bad thing for him to do, did he want you to die to prove his point?
I was a smoker with asthma, got up every morning and made it to the kitchen before my first asthma attack, used my inhaler and sat and waited for it to get better so I could have a cigarette. I know that sounds awful, but you only notice your asthma when it is playing up.
Now, asthma can get progressively worse as your lungs age and don’t work as well. You also have a family history of cancer so you may be predisposed to contracting lung cancer. Some people smoke their whole lives and never get cancer, but some don’t, with a known history, you’d be silly to carry on smoking. Emphysema is one of those things that they now accept that you usually get as you get older anyway, but smoking SURE won’t help it.
I would make two suggestions, number one, go to the doctor and get a new inhaler, you don’t want to find out how bad your asthma is as you’re turning blue waiting for the ambulance, and number two – for goodness sake give up smoking. Your lungs are struggling already, why make it any harder for them? poor old things

Asthma and COPD
COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is chronic asthma. Chronic means it progresses slowly while obstructive means that it causes narrowing of the airways in the lungs making it more difficult to breath. Pulmonary disease means that the condition affects the lungs. Therefore , asthma COPD is a diseases that progress slowly in the airways, narrowing them. Thus no air can move in or out of the lungs. Breathing becomes more and more difficult. helines.com

Are these symtoms of Asthma?
Question by Lillylady: Are these symtoms of Asthma?
I find that after I exercise or laugh a lot, I tend to wheeze for a long time afterwords.
Are these symptoms of asthma or maybe just a lung infection….?
The exercise is outside and not very strenuous. It happens when I laugh sometimes aswell
Best answer:
Answer by ScipioRx
Wheezing or shortness of breath after exercise is usually referred to exercise-induced bronchospasms. There are rescue inhalers that you can use to help right before exercise. Talk to your regular doctor about it and be sure to be able to mention how strenous the activity and whether your activites are outside or inside.

Understanding Asthma – 360p [Animation]
What is exactly Asthma? Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways, which causes attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.Causes, incidence, and risk factors Asthma is caused by inflammation in the airways. When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swells. This reduces the amount of air that can pass by. In sensitive people, asthma symptoms can be triggered by breathing in allergy-causing substances (called allergens or triggers). Common asthma triggers include: 1| Animals (pet hair or dander) 2| Dust 3| Changes in weather (most often cold weather) 4| Chemicals in the air or in food 5| Exercise 6| Mold 7| Pollen 8| Respiratory infections, such as the common cold 9| Strong emotions (stress) 10| Tobacco smoke Symptoms Most people with asthma have attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some people have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Either wheezing or a cough may be the main symptom.Asthma attacks can last for minutes to days, and can become dangerous if the airflow is severely restricted. Symptoms include: 1| Cough with or without sputum (phlegm) production. 2| Pulling in of the skin between the ribs when breathing (intercostal retractions). 3|Shortness of breath that gets worse with exercise or activity 4|Wheezing, which: Emergency symptoms: Bluish color to the lips and face Decreased level of alertness, such as …

Asthma from climate change?
Question by : Asthma from climate change?
ok so i lived in Illinois until i was about five, during this time it was discovered that i have/had asthma, so i moved to Texas and for probably two or three years i still had asthma, then somehow it just went away, i lived a very normal life with no problems at all. i am now 18 and have moved back to Illinois, i have been here for about seven months so far, after having been here for about five months in January i got bronchitis. This has cleared up but still have almost constant shortness of breath was/am very concerned about this thinking i had emphysiema, pulminary hypertension, pulminary fibrosis, like every lung disease i found online i thought i had lol which made me very anxious to the point were i was giving myself constant panick attacks and had to go to the e.r. a couple. the e.r. dr. ran tests on me and also did a chest x-ray on two occasions, both times everything was normal, told me possibly anxiety. also have been to dr. many times in past few months, she said maybe asthma. Then went to pulminoligsit had pulminary function test, said everything was normal! and that i just have mild asthma. he did however put me down for a cat scan next week just to make sure everything is fine, and if nothing else give me peace of mind(if possible). its terrible though because i feel like i can never get a full breath like my lung capacity is now diminished, i cant smoke anymore, and my physical activity is greatly limited, im pretty much miserable. My breathing feels like its HALF of what is was. sometimes it is worse than others but its terrible because its never how it used to be. im hoping maybe its just because of change of climate? and when i go back to texas ill get better? also has anyone felt like this before? anyway to make it better?

What is Asthma: Part 1
Visit us at www.eastwesthealing.com Facebook http Nutritional coaching eastwesthealing.com The Metabolic Blueprint Program eastwesthealing.com Ray Peat PhD There are some popular medical ideas that obstruct clear thinking about respiration. One is that high altitude deprives you of oxygen, and is likely to be bad for people with heart disease and cancer. Another is that breathing pure oxygen helps sick people to oxygenate their tissues while exerting less effort in breathing. These are both exactly wrong, and the errors have been explored in quite a few publications, but the ideas persist in the culture to such a degree that our perceptions and intuitions have been misled, making closely related things seem to be unrelated. In this culture, it is hard to see that heart disease, cancer, and cataracts all involve a crucial respiratory defect, with the production of too much lactic acid and too little carbon dioxide, which leads to a “swelling pathology”: A pathological retention of water. The swollen heart beats poorly, the swollen lens turns milky, other cells divide rapidly as a result of swelling. People who live at very high altitudes live significantly longer; they have a lower incidence of cancer (Weinberg, et al., 1987) and heart disease (Mortimer, et al., 1977), and other degenerative conditions, than people who live near sea level. As I have written earlier, I think the lower energy transfer from cosmic radiation is likely to be a factor in their longevity, but …

Childhood Asthma Management Program / Educational Training Video
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. National Institutes of Health. Childhood Asthma Management Program: Asthma Feelings. AVA19988VNB1, 1996. The Asthma Feeling video explores the way asthmatic children feel about their disease and ways to cope with being ‘different’. The video is designed to help children feel more comfortable with having asthma and not allow it to cause undue interference in the lifestyle of the person. Producer: National Institutes of Health. Creative Commons license: Public Domain Asthma is a chronic medical condition. It has been defined by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute as a common chronic disorder of the airways that is complex and characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (bronchospasm), and an underlying inflammation. The interaction of these features of asthma determines the clinical manifestations and severity of asthma and the response to treatment. Public attention in the developed world has recently focused on asthma because of its rapidly increasing prevalence, affecting up to one in four urban children. Asthma is caused by a complex interaction of environmental and genetic factors that researchers do not yet fully understand.[55] These factors can also influence how severe a persons asthma is and how well they respond to medication. As with other complex diseases, many environmental and genetic factors have been suggested as causes of asthma, but not all studies …

I can hear and feel a rattle/vibration in my left lung right after inhalation (asthma related)?
Question by miss:D: I can hear and feel a rattle/vibration in my left lung right after inhalation (asthma related)?
I should let you know a little something about myself. I have asthma and I recently went to the doctors yesterday and asked them to check my lungs because I had symptoms of a cold (no fever, clear yellow phlem) and a bad cough (got better) which happened to be a viral infection. Viral infections (bronchitis? my doc was unable to see me so i saw another one and she didnt tell me if it it was bronchitis or not… i think it is) will go away on its own, but this rattle/audible vibration occurs right after an inhalation? Idk if you would call it wheezing because I know what wheezing feels like. I have found that out today and it is making me paranoid. Whats wrong with me? :/
I have also read that people who have COPD can develop lung cancer… do you think i might have this? I am only 21

Asthma Explained 2003
Occupational asthma is a reversible, generalized airway narrowing as a result of exposure to airborne dust, gases, vapors, or fumes in the work environment. A recent Statement of the American Thoracic Society estimated that approximately 15% of asthma in the adult population is attributable to occupational exposure. A substantial amount of information exists on particular agents or conditions known to cause occupational exposure, including isocyanates, glutaraldehyde, red cedar dust, latex, crab proteins, and many others. Recent reviews of occupational exposure in the literature have cited hallmark studies that document successful intervention efforts, most notably for health care workers using natural rubber latex gloves, laboratory animal handlers, and workers in the detergent industry. In addition, the recent reviews sound the call for more studies that better evaluate the effectiveness of prevention efforts. For more information on occupational asthma and its control, go to the NIOSH website at www.cdc.gov and the HSE website at www.hse.gov.uk . This is clipped from the 2003 video, Making a Difference: Asthma Management in the School, from the National Institutes of Health National Heart and Lung Institute. The entire video is available on the Internet Archive at FedFlix, a joint venture of the nonprofit Public.Resource.Org with the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) in cooperation with other government agencies including the National Archives.
