Asthma: What foods and Over the Counter products trigger or worsen an Asthma attack?
Author: My sister said my recent near death attack was due to some dried apricots I ate 9 or 10 hours earlier. I had never heard this, but I am new to the Asthma wolrd. I love apricots and have not had breathing problems with them ever before. My Doc said it may have been the Alieve I took 3 hours prior. He didn't mention foods could be a trigger. Can they? What foods and Over the Counter products are suspect?
It all depends on what is the cause of your asthma!!
If apricots have never been a cause of your problem, they shouldn't be now! Try one or 2, but not a few pounds of them.
Some people are highly allergic to aleve and other items like it.
Listen more to your doctor than your sister!!
