How long does sunburn on your eyes stay?
Author: I have pale skin, freckles, sensitive skin, and I easily get sunburn. I was outside with my sunglasses on, and a few hours later, my cheek and eyes started to swell up. My mom had shrimp earlier, and I am allergic. My family thought I had an allergic reaction, and they took me to the hospital. They didn’t do much, but I took Benadryl and I still am. My sister mentioned that it may be sunburn, and my eyes are dry, and red, and it feels like sunburn. How long do you think it will last if I’m taking Benadryl?
Has anyone heard of asthma giving a person a prolonged productive cough?
I have had two doctors tell me think I have asthma.
Can you ever get asthma totally controlled where the triggers don’t even create problems?
Is this possible? Because I’m on lots of meds and I still can’t seem to get my asthma totally under control.
What could cause a bad sense of disorientation in the eyes that also causes seizures once in a while?
I get very disoriented sometimes in my right eye and partially in my left. It happens during odd times. Changes in light and such, patterns on the ground. It has happened while I was driving and all I can do is stop. If I try to continue to drive, I veer in one direction. When this happens, I always have a feeling like someone’s on my right (not necessarily in a car). One thing I try to do when this happens is close my eyes and relax. It goes away 60% of the time, but sometimes it ends with a seizure. Also, when this happens and I do close my eyes, it’s pitch black. I don’t see the usual small bit of reddish light you normally see when you close your eyes in normal daylight or artificial light. When and if it goes away, it takes a few minutes to regain my sense of surroundings. What could be causing this?
Can you have exercise induced asthma only when running?
Is it possible to only have asthma when running and not when doing other types of exercise? I’m in summer gym right now and I find myself getting severly out of breath really early on into running the mile but when I exercise on the eliptical bike inside for 45min I don’t feel a thing. When I ride the bike, I do it a high resistance and relativly fast. Could it also be anxiety about running the mile? I already have an anxiety disorder that affects other things but I can’t tell if its just that or if its asthma related.
