is it normal for your asthma to get worse near the end of an inhaler?
Author: for ages now i have noticed that when my inhaler is running a little low my asthma gets worse! i wake up very often needing it and i need it much more during the day!
is it coincidence or due to something else?
Do others really understand asthma or do they just think you bring it on yourself?
I often feel a little self-conscious/embarrassed to let others know that I suffer from asthma and missed work because of it. Do people really understand that when you’re asthma gets out of control, it’s not your fault? That when you experience a severe attack, it is not only terrifying but sometimes uncontrollable and physically debilitating? I have a friend who thought that if I just ignore it, it would go away/not be as bad, like when you suffer through a cold. It seems as if some people either think it’s just a psychological problem or they think you can just take your inhaler and then get better and that’s all there is to it.
Are people that educated about asthma as they should be? Does anyone else feel a little self-conscious when you admit that you’re an asthmatic?
I don’t tell everyone. When my friends at work or my close friends from home express concern about me, that’s when I end up telling them the truth…
I actually hate drawing attention to myself…
What do you do to help with your child’s asthma?
Anyone have any ideas to help with asthma in a six year old. He’s been to numerous doctors and hospitals. They all say the same thing, "He’ll grow out of it". They send him home with a breathing machine, albuterol, and an inhaler and sometimes steroids.
I read somewhere that eating kiwi helps with asthma. We tried that. It did seem to work for a little while. Do you know of any more "home remedies" that I can try along with the doctor’s orders?
Is there anyway to permanently get rid of asthma?
I hate my asthma. I've only had it for about 6 months, but it really brings me down and I can't do things I used to be able to do before without taking breaks and using my inhaler. Now I have to use 2 different inhalers and it makes it more confusing. I just want to get rid of it so I can be back to normal.
What happens if you feel like your having an asthma attack but you don’t have and inhaler?
Every time I feel like I am going to have an asthma attack I can't use an inhaler because my parents don't believe me when I say I have asthma no matter how many times I tell them. I was looking up the signs on the internet and I have a tickle in the back of my throat, I cough all the time, I have the shortness of breath and all the symptoms so I don't know why they don't believe me! Thank you to whoever answers this!
