I need help with my asthma do you have any ideas?
Author: I need help with my asthma, I have had it all my life. I am currently taking Singulair and Foradil and Asmanex Twisthaler (220mg) Oh and also the rescue inhaler. I used to be on Advair but it hadn't been working for me.I was diaganosed with severe asthma recently after being in the ER. I take vitamin supplements such as Querciten and Bromelain also Ginko biloba and Cod liver oil. Can you give me any ideas that might help? Do you know any at home remedies? Or other good supplements? please help!
Hello, I too have asthma with a vengeance! I was just switched by my pulmonary Dr. to Zyrtec 10mg from Singulair, he said that sometimes singulair works better for younger patients in their teens and not as much for a person in their 20-30's. I also just switched to Azmacort which is helping, I am not using my rescue inhaler like I was… If you have carpet tear it out! I have been working on removing all my carpet for the past two years, it is helping. you can put in laminate floors like Pergo, or wood. You may try a room purifier, they are costly so start with one in your bedroom first. Also, wash your sheets in HOT water once a week, do not have down or feather pillows.
Believe me, I have been at my wits end with finding solutions to help my asthma and it is so depressing. Watch out for the steroids, I have gained 40 lbs on those and they still did not keep the inflammation under control. I am just now trying to walk and exercise for the first time in two years (my asthma has been the controller in my life for a while) I am now fighting back, I hope! When I am having a really bad day breathing I do try to drink some alcohol (not beer with yeast & don't get wasted) that seems to keep me calm. Also keep your filters clean and keep all pets outside especially during high allergy season.
I would watch supplements, try to eat healthy instead, and have someone else mow the yard (or else where a mask)
Good luck, I really love my Azmacort I can actually take a deep breath without sounding whispy!
