I started working at a metal recycling plant at the beginning of the year. Metal is grinded into very fine particles along with plastic at this particular facility, and although the office has its own air system, dust & particulate matter still enters in from the facility.
I’ve never had a history of asthma or respiratory problems, but for 4 months, since I started working here, I’ve felt like I can’t catch my breath when I’m at work, and it carries long into the evening, when I leave work. I’m being treated with Q-Var and Albuterol, but the rescue inhaler doesn’t seem to be very effective.
When an attack starts, it can last for days. I’m not gasping for air, but I have to take deep, forced breaths, it’s very exhausting. It doesn’t disrupt my sleep, I just have a slight wheeze at night.

Has anyone else had a similar situation?

Say Goodbye to Allergies

reinka-rnate asked:


I’m going on a hiking expedition and the First Aid Kit list we got says that I should pack asthma medication as well, even if none of our group members have diagnosed asthma. All the First Aid Kits that I’ve seen on the market here in Singapore don’t have asthma puffers, so I’m planning to get it separately. Does anyone know if a prescription is needed to buy asthma puffers? Thanks in advance.

Allergy season is coming and my asthma will be aggravated, especially when running. Any suggestions on good cardio that I can sustain and keep up my exercise routine much appreciated. FYI: I use Advair.

I have asthma and the heat and dry air is causing it to flare up a little. And my chest is hurting a little in the middle. Not majorly or sharp pains. And I am coughing.

I have read in the Asthma magazine a report to an asthmatic middle age man, he said that many people do not know the difference between being out of breath and asthma attack, can anyone explain? I think that gasping for air is like asthma attack or is not? Thanks for answers.

Cure Your Asthma in 1 Week!

Neecy asked:


I’ve suffered with asthma since childhood. I’ve convinced that it can’t be cured. I’ve learned to live with it but I’m sick of using inhalers and taking medication. Are there any safe and effective natural treatments for asthma that will control attacks and breathing without the use of drugs or inhalers?

Get Your Breath Back

lechemomma asked:


My child has had a cough for months that hasn’t responded to antibiotics, steroids, or allergy meds. I don’t believe my family practitioner is providing appropriate care and would like to see a specialist but I’m not sure what type to contact. Do I need an interal medicine doc or a pediatric allergist or…??? The FP is beginning to suspect asthma at this point but my child is not wheezing or having difficulty w/physical activity or any of the other asthma symptoms, just a chronic cough.
To add more details, I don’t need referals, can see any doc I like who accepts my insurance. Even though he’s not responding to prednisone, singular & claritin, FP said keep treating & come back in Oct (coughing since June 1) for recheck. It’s gotten worse in last 2 wks even w/meds. With school starting I believe more aggressive evaluation & treatment is in order!
