What's the most common way to get an asthma attack? I have bad asthma but not really bad and I just want a list of stuff that triggers my asthma.

notalonewithcancer replied: "Eighty percent of people with asthma have allergies to airborne substances such as tree, grass, and weed pollens, mold, animal dander, dust mites, and cockroach particles. Asthma exacerbation after dust exposure is usually due to dust mite allergy."

asthmahelp replied: "Everybody has different triggers that can cause their asthma attacks. Allergens are the most common, but there are many things that can be your triggers. You might even have many different triggers. Here is a list of some of them: * Certain foods - could be just about anything, even food additives or preservatives. * Air pollution - could be outside air or even the air inside your home. * Aerosol sprays - cleaning products, cooking products, hair spray, etc. * Animal dander - all pets give off dander. * Car exhaust fumes * Cleaning products - certain chemicals or combinations might be on your list * Cockroach droppings - will need to eliminate them from anywhere that you might go. * Dust mites - they are in your bedding, carpets, etc. * Gas fumes * Grass - could be any kind of plants, etc. * Mold - you will need to search everywhere to find it and eliminate it. * Paint fumes * Pollen - any kind of pollen could be a problem. * Smoke - cigarettes, fireplaces, etc. Other Things That Could Be Your Asthma Causes or Triggers * Certain types of weather or weather changes * Getting emotional * Exercising * Things like colds, pneumonia, sinusitis * Reflux disease(GERD) or heartburn * Certain medications"

Amanda replied: "I have asthma because of really bad allergies to grass trees and pollen and dust.. It can mainly be cause by running and excersicing because of too much exertion."

Alternatives for common disinfectants at daycare due to Asthma? I have been using either Lysol or a bleach water solution to disinfect the toys at the daycare I work at. I have reactive airway disease and possibly a mild form of asthma (to see the doctor 2 weeks from now) I am 100% sure that inhaling the lysol and the bleach water is an irritant and triggers upper respiratiory infections in MYSELF. Just wondering if anyone has an alternative that disinfects similar to these two products without the airborn irritants. Thanks!

Smart Nurse replied: "Peroxide Here is an EXCELLENT site for lots of info on alternatives for just about anything."

busybee2 replied: "http://housekeeping.about.com/cs/environment/a/alternateclean.htm Vinegar naturally cleans like an all-purpose cleaner. Mix a solution of 1 part water to 1 part vinegar in a new store bought spray bottle and you have a solution that will clean most areas of your home. Vinegar is a great natural cleaning product as well as a disinfectant and deodorizer."

Is it possible that I have asthma? I had a kidney biopsy about 3 weeks ago and ever since I've had difficulty breathing regularly. I originally thought it was a side-effect of my kidney issues because my doctor asked me if I was having any shortness of breath during a few of my appointments. My breathing rate has nearly doubled by my estimate and I have difficulty taking a full breath. It's as if I need to yawn in order to open my airway enough to take a fulfilling breath. I'd estimate at least 100 times a day I have the 'kinda yawn/sigh' I am not having any wheezing or much coughing, just shorter breaths and many very deep sighs throughout the day. My grandpa developed asthma, but I believe it was due to his line of work. My questions are: Do you just 'develop' asthma once you're past childhood? Does it sound like I may have symptoms of asthma? Could this just be a strange side effect of my kidney biopsy? Or, is it possible that my biopsy may have triggered asthma? Other than the common "go to the doctor" answer, what should I do and how urgent may it be? Is this something I need to be concerned about or I'll be fine with and it'll go away in a few weeks? Thanks!!

Everything about asthma? I need to know everything, facts and real experience. What are the common and uncommon symptoms? What kind of cough do you get? What triggers asthma? And anything else?

Mary Boo replied: "Things which every body must know about asthma Asthma affects millions of people worldwide. It is one of the disease where the incidence of disease is increasing year by year. It is also the most common chronic disease affecting children. Here are some important facts about asthma attack that everybody must know: 1. Asthma is not a communicable disease. You cannot get infected and get asthma by any asthma patient. Asthma is disease where genetic and environmental factors play role. 2. Asthma is caused by the chronic inflammation (swelling) of airways of lungs. 3. Airway inflammation contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness, airflow limitation causing respiratory symptoms. IT 9 MORE"

bouncingbluepixie replied: "The most common symtom is a wheezing when you breathe and you find it hard to take a really good deep breath. Uncommon symptoms include rapid breathing, tiredness, lack of concetration and anxiety. With asthma you normally get a cough with a cold and it can be really tickly and some asthma sufferers cough at night at lot as they sleep. Anything can trigger asthma. Personally mine would be triggered by dust or animal hair that im not used to such as cats, because im not in contact with them a lot. Hayfever can also trigger asthma. Asthma is very treatable and in my opinion a condition that you can very easily live with."

casdave2001 replied: "There are two types of asthma. there is the kind that is triggered by an emotional state, anxiety, panic attacks etc. Then there is the type that is triggered by outside influences. By far this is the most common type. What happens is when you inhale virtually any irritant, dust, fumes, smoke(from any source) and especially things you are allergic to, like pollen the airways produce mucous to flush the offending substance out. This results in swelling of the mucosa and lessening the diameter of the airway. If it goes on that ucous can thicken and block airways. You also have the bronchial muscles contracting stimulated by a hormone realesed by the body Also let's not forget the asthmatic part of anaphlacsis that can happen like from a bee sting. OK now you can see the three fold problem, inflammation, mucous and broncoconstriction. The inflammation is usually treated by inhaled or oral steroids. The mucous can be helped by breathing treeatments and an expectorant like Mucinex. The bronchoconsriction is relieved by bronchodilators. God bless you and keep you healthy."

Team Edward replied: "Well, asthma is a condition. That means that sometimes you notice it, and sometimes you don't. But it's always there. Asthma happens when something causes your airways - the tubes in your chest that you breathe through - to get swollen. When your airways get swollen, it makes it harder for you to breathe. And when that happens, it might make you: cough, or get a tickly or tight feeling in your chest, or breathe all wheezy, or maybe even have trouble catching your breath These feelings are called symptoms, and they're not too much fun. Sometimes you might even find them a little scary. But don't worry, your Asthma training will teach you everything you need to know to make the symptoms go away fast and keep them under control. Lots of things can cause symptoms: Smelly stuff, like smoke or pollution. Invisible stuff, like dust and cold air. Gross stuff, like mould or cute little kitty cats. (Okay, so kitty cats aren't gross, but the little bits of dead skin, called "dander", that they shed certainly are! Yuck!) And sometimes, when your airways are swollen, even fun stuff like running and jumping and playing can cause symptoms. All these things are called triggers. When you breathe in these triggers, you begin to feel the symptoms - the coughing, the wheezing, or the tight chest - of asthma. So you don't know what triggers your asthma! Hmmm, sounds like you have another case to solve. My Secert Weapon! Now that you know what asthma is, how do you control it? Well, that's where your secret weapon comes in. As an asthma victum , you'll be briefed in the techniques of using a very special, high-tech Asthma tool: your puffer. Your puffer contains the medication that keeps your airways clear. If you have asthma, you'll probably need two types of medication: Reliever medication (sometimes called your rescue medication), and Controller medication (sometimes called your preventer medication) Your reliever medication usually comes in a blue puffer. You can take your reliever medication when you start to feel the symptoms of asthma. Your reliever medication helps make your asthma symptoms go away fast so you can start to breathe better again. Your controller medication come in many colours (orange, brown or even purple puffers). You use your controller medication every day just as your doctor told you to do, so that you can keep your airways clear and keep the symptoms from coming back. This means taking your controller even when you feel good, because it will help you to keep feeling good. Your puffers are the most important Asthma victum tool you have. Learning how to use them properly will be one of your next cases. Just remember: You control the puffer. The medication in the puffer controls the asthma. And that's how you control the asthma (and not the other way around). With these tools, plus a few other tricks and tips, you'll find that you can run and play and sleepover just like every other kid. You won't look different. You won't act different. But you will know how to think different and to act fast. Hope this helps! I have asthma my self! 0:-)"

Do you think asthma can affect social skills? like during childhood? ^^^^just answer the initial question if you don't want to read cause it's really long sorry^^^^^^ i've had pretty severe asthma ever since i was little, and it's triggered by all animals with fur and lots of other stuff. in elementary school, i couldn't go to anyone's house cause they all had dogs. i was embarrassed to have anyone over because my dad would make kids take a shower and change clothes before they came and then he would vacuum them, . my dad also didn't let me go anywhere like the park or even outside our yard cause he thought i would have an asthma attack. i never got to play sports as a kid like most other kids. so i never really had close friends that i hung out with. i had constant asthma attacks at school in front of everybody, and it became common for people to see me go to the nurses office gasping for air to get my inhaler. i went to the emergency room a lot for major asthma attacks back then. years later in high school, i got sick of doing nothing. i pushed my asthma beyond its limits and pushed through a lot of pain by running cross country (against my parents wishes). i found out that running actually helped so dramatically that i now go days and weeks without my inhaler. i used to use it like 7-10 times a day (sometimes more). i never wake up 4 times a night with asthma anymore. i feel like it was the biggest accomplishment in my life, but nobody seemed to care, not even my parents. now i'm 19 and in college, and i've never had close friendships or a girlfriend. i don't have anybody that i talk to about my problems. i'm not even that close to my parents or sister. i'm really shy and quiet a lot. i don't really have that many friends, and none that i hang out with on a weekly basis. i think i've developed a loner personality, but i still feel like i need to be around other people. looking back, i can't help but wonder whether my asthma had a significant impact on my personality and social skills. and why?

Ogmios replied: "Yes, It can have an impact on the individuals social skills. Go see a Hypnotherapist. Perhaps they can regress you into a past life and remove the true cause."

lovebug replied: "just like with any other circumstance i think it's how you take it and deal with it that affect you the most.."

Courtney(: replied: "I have asthma, and as of right now I play two sports and I'm in marching band. I'm 15, and I don't think it's really effected my social skills or had an impact on my personality."

nyynkee4lyfe replied: "Medical problems such as yours can impede a person's personality and social skills, but you have to put that beyond yourself and move on. Your looking for a reason to why you are the way you are, but instead of feeling sorry for yourself you have to move on and face the world head on. Be the person you want to be."

fantastic.hazel replied: "Asthma could definitely affect you. Little kids are extremely rejecting of those who are different, and after you had limited social experiences in elementary school you would be unsure in social situations as you grew older, leading to shyness and few friends. However, you can definitely overcome this by forcing yourself to interact with others. In addition, I would blame your overprotective parents more than the asthma itself. I had a few friends with asthma who lived basically normal lives, although your care sounds more serious than theirs. I think the best thing you can do is just put yourself out there, and eventually you'll find some friends (and a girlfriend). If you have any hobbies join a club and make friends there. My college has clubs for everything... ballroom dancing, DDR, Spanish-language cinema... P.S. please don't go to a hypnotist... there's no scientific backing. If you want to talk to someone see your campus psychology/counseling center."

Epiphany replied: "no. Ive had severe asthma since i was 3, and allergic to damn near everything under the sun. Been hospitalized twice, had my own breathing machine at the house. Im 30 now, still have to use it randomly and every time i workout or do any kind of cardio. I don't think it would of made a difference one way or another. That's what inhalers are for. Mine stays in my purse with me always, and even when i was younger my mom or my dad always made sure i had it. Deal with it and get over it. Its never affect my friendships or relationships. It sounds like your trying to use it as an excuse."

justlookin4friendsonly replied: "Well, yes, and your father/parents made it worse making you a loner and making friends take a shower, etc. before visiting you at your home. I understand their concern for you as far as worrying whether you'd have an asthma attack & not allowing you to go over friends' houses that had dogs & not allowing you to play sports for fear you'd have a fatal asthma attack. And I think now that you run track, just be careful & if you feel signs of an asthma attack come on, stop, and have your inhaler readily available so you can IMMEDIATELY use it & see a doctor about your physical activity, which I would've done as your parent before ultimately deciding whether you can do sports. Also they could've done research to see what dogs are best for people like you, I myself have allergies to dogs & have had an asthma attack which led to me going to the Hospital when I was a kid due to my allergies ( I'm also allergic to cats, dust, mold, mildew, ragweed, grass & trees). I had few friends & I did try tennis lessons, I really didn't play sports though, so you could still make friends in school without being in sports. But I know how kids can be cruel, seeing you go to the Nurses' office like that can scare young kids too & then they see you going to the Hospital by ambulance a lot, they could've even thought you had a contaigius (sp?) disease in Elementary School, they are not taught better by their parents or the school, so they think the worst & are mean. Your parents should've been more pro-active & spoke to the teacher every year and spoke to the class about your condition & that it's not catching & answer kids' questions, with a medical professional, like a nurse at your Doctor's office or something, or I guess, aft6er a while the Nurse would get to know about your asthma well & could give the presentation, so kids wouldn't be so mean to you & fear you. Make an effort to join clubs now that you're in College, maybe ask someone in one of your classes to study with you & you can gradually make friends, no one said you need a ton of friends, personally, I've found that a few close friends is better than a ton of fake friends. But that can lead to lonliness too, they can't always be there when you need them, as they have lives of their own too, which won't always include you. Good Luck, I was once shy & I know how hard it is. In High School I was made fun of too. I went to an all-girl High School & I never had a boyfriend until I was almost 19, and he was like 26. I was in College & he was my best friends' boydriends' friend, I went away to College & was missing home, my parents picked me up the 1st weekend & that's when I met him, we had a long-distance relationship those 4 years & were together for 13 years & have a 7 year old together, but I'm now married to someone else. Anyway, gradually, as you meet people, you should get over your shyness."

Flovent HFA - Is it just me, or does it taste bad? I had a swim meet last week that triggered my asthma is some strange way and caused it to go out of control. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me the Flovent HFA steroid inhaler. I've been taking it for 4 days now, and I've started to notice that my breath tastes like chemicals when I breathe out. To describe it better, it tastes like the smell of wet rubber cement, or fumes from spray paint. Is that common, or could there be something wrong with me?

wezy53154 replied: "The first thing I'd like to know is did your doctor also give you a spacing chamber when prescribing you an inhaler. The spacer lets the propellant rain out into the unit and allows only the medication be inhaled into the lungs. There is also very little taste. There is nothing wrong with you there is something very wrong with how our and his/her office is educating you on how you are to take care of your asthma. Flovent is a corticosteroid. When taken correctly it reduces the swelling in the airways of the lungs and you are able to breathe better. It is best when taken after the quick relief inhaler so that it goes deeper into the lungs and does a better job. Also, you should rinse your mouth with water and swallow to wash away the medication to make sure your not killing the normal flora and causing even more problems down the road. Make sure that when you go to bed each night use not only brush your teeth but that you brush your tongue to keep it clean. Hope this information is what your looking for."

Toddler Asthma Question, Night-time cough related? Our 3 year old has been diagnosed with asthma. His only symptom is a chronic cough that can last all day/night. The longest he's gone is maybe 2 months between flareups. Sometimes he can sleep through it, sometimes not. The times he can't are, as you can imagine, pretty awful for us all. With his flare plan, these flare ups have gone from lasting 5-10 days down to about 3, which I guess is pretty cool. Our allergist says his nose "looks allergic" (the tissue is blue) which means, I think, that something is triggering it. But at his first allergy test he came up negative to everything they tested him with. They said this is common in young kids. My question is, if he were allergic to something in our house (say pet dander or dust) wouldn't his flare up stop if we were someplace else? Because he has had these on vacation, in hotels, shore houses etc. I'd love to "remove" whatever he's allergic to, but, I'm thinking maybe it's just not possible? Thoughts?

Mamma Mia replied: "What kind of allergy testing did they do? Environmental, food, etc? My daughter is allergic to wheat (which is in almost all foods!)..plus peanut butter, dogs, cats, horses, etc! It might be a food allergy. Also, a lot of hotels allow pets, and dander/hair can be everywhere!"

Lizza replied: "Was he tested for a mold or dust allergy? My daughter was diagnosed with seasonal asthma at 3 as well. I removed the miniblinds from her room and replaced them with curtains, which could be washed frequently. We already had hardwood floors so we didn't have to worry about yanking the carpet out of her room. All of her stuffed animals that couldn't be washed were bagged when she was having flare-ups and I vacuumed only when she was away. All of this seemed to help her when she was prone to attacks but it didn't prevent all of them. If dust or mold is the culprit, he would still have attacks on vacation as most hotels are carpeted & filthy. Did his doctor say that he may outgrow his asthma? After four miserable winters, my daughter finally went an entire year without one attack. Good luck!"

Kattrina G replied: "I grew up with this problem. my mom use to wake me up and give me liquid Ventolin. it works really well, but it is hard for me to get a prescription for it now. doctors now give me a pill called singular it is good for asthma and allergies. On those rare occasions were the pill does not work because I may have a cold, I Normally take albutorol in a nebulizer. This always works. both these medications have also been prescribed for my small children at one point or another. hope this helps. Good luck!"

sheru replied: "have a son with asthma and his main symptom is coughing with gagging/after exercise and even laughing can do it! a preventer combined ventolin ( Seretide) is a great way to help control it..as for the allergen triggers...thats hard..allergens are everywhere and its very challenging find the culprits"

Pedsgurl replied: "Childhood asthma and allergies are difficult because, as you hinted at, kids have to " grow into" their allergies. They may be allergic but their skin tests don't turn positive until they are a little older. While allergies may not be the root of your child's asthma, they are certainly irritating it. Dust mites are a very common allergen and can be extremely irritating to sensitive lungs. This would explain why you have issues both at home and when you visit. Dust mites are found IN dust but also in fabrics like carpet, bedding, couches. There is virtually no way to completely rid your house of them because they multiply very quickly, faster than we can keep up with them. Has your allergist put your child on an antihistamine to see if this can quiet the flares even more? Zyrtec liquid is now over the counter and is very, very effective in treating allergies. I like it best because it can be given at night ( and some people find it makes them drowsy so it helps sleep) when your child is breathing in the dust mites. The other thing I would recommend is making sure your child's bedding and pillow are covered in dust mite encasements. You can find them at most bedding stores and also online ( they tend to be cheaper there). These "seal" the bedding so that your son can't breath in the allergen. Also remember that stuffed animals can harbor the dust mites as well. If your son is particularly attached to a few, make sure to wash them, and his bedding, in hot water one -two times a month. Vaccumming is helpful as well and making his room as clutter free as possible will give fewer places for dust to accrue. This is just one type of allergy but it's the most common and the most irritating to asthmatics. Don't buy into air purifiers purely for a dust mite allergy. They are very good for other allergens like pollen and animal dander but don't do much for a dust mite allergy. Please feel free to email if you have any questions!"

i am having difficulty breathing when i think of a certain topic.? First off, please don't answer by saying my religion is wrong or that there is no God...i can never be convinced by atheists Anyways, i am a Christian and when i think of certain topics that i think God might not want me thinking about, i get nervous and scared that God is mad and i have severe difficulty breathing...like an asthma attack...in the past, the attack would stop when i did'nt think about the potentially sinfull topic, but nowadays, the attacks will last about a week at a time...i am finding it hard to sleep and such.... i know i can stop it if i stopped thinking about the topics...but the things i am thinking about are not typical sinfull stuff like sex or murder. For example, i like ancient egypt but whenever i think of it now, i get scared because egypt was a pagan and jew-hating country and paganism is against Christianity...then the attacks start...nowadays even if i see anything egypt-related like steve martin playing king tut on saturday night live, i get an asthma attack that could last a week....i try telling myself that there are plenty of Christian egyptologists and liking old egyptian art and pottery won't make me a pagan or a demon-worshipper...but that logic won't work on my inner-concious and i am still scared and anything egyptian triggers the attacks. i don;t know if i can ever assure myself that God is cool with egypt...but i just want the asthma attacks to stop .. is it common for people's fear to psycologically trigger asthma, or is this supernatural...is God making the attacks happan directly???

Jeff P replied: "if god is really so riotous then why would it care what you are thinking about?"

Sarah M replied: "It sounds like you are having an anxiety attack. When you think of certain topics, you get anxious that you shouldn't be thinking about them and you start having an attack. You are psyching yourself out and causing you to have an anxiety attack. Emotional Signs of an attack are: Feelings of apprehension or dread Trouble concentrating Feeling tense and jumpy Anticipating the worst Irritability Restlessness Watching for signs of danger Feeling like your mind’s gone blank Physical Signs are: Pounding heart Sweating Stomach upset or dizziness Frequent urination or diarrhea Shortness of breath Tremors and twitches Muscle tension Headaches Fatigue Insomnia Try to quit thinking about the things that are bothering you, if you can't you migth talk to someone like your pastor about what bothers you about these things that would cause you to feel anxious. He may be able to help you understand more about what you are questioning. Also, it's okay to question things about your faith...you shouldn't believe everything someone tells you. I don't think God is doing it to you, I think you are feeling like it is a bigger deal that it is and it is in turn making your anxious. Say a little prayer, when you start getting these feelings. If you don't talk to your pastor and you can't quit thinking of all the topics, I would go and see my doctor! Good luck!"

Shoobie's Mom replied: "You know what...the Bible says that God does care about you and everything about you...even the hairs on your head are numbered. The Bible says that God notices a sparrow that falls. The Bible also says that God is not pleased when we sin, but that He is love and will forgive us our sins if all we do is ask Him to. Your anxiety and stress are triggering your attacks. This is a proven fact that these do indeed contribute to your asthma. Carry your fast acting inhaler. Remember that God remembers that we are but dust and knows that we will sin. I do not believe that God is making your asthma attacks happen. I believe that your stress and anxiety are making them happen. Pray about it and ask God for direction and wisdom. It would also be beneficial to talk to your doctor about your anxiety levels. I think that perhaps you may need something to calm this anxiety."

keswickian replied: "you are having panic attacks and they are not phsyic or spritual so get to a doctor and get it checked,if god did not want man to have certain sinful thoughts then we would all be born ugly .do not put a name or judge your self for being a normal human.History exsist for a reason and we cannot change the past it is there so that we do not make the same mistakes in the future .You are not praying or celebrating their way of thinking but studying it and knowledge is not a bad thing."

Can someone tell me whats going on with me? occasionally i will feel a discomfort or pressure in my stomach area. its hard to explain but it feels like someone is pressing against down on the area just below my chest and i can deal with that its just uncomfortable and almost feels hard to breath. i don't know what it is. what really worries me is 10% of the time it turns into an attack of some kind. it gets really hard to breathe, i break out into a sweat it hurts to breathe or talk. the only thing that brings relief is breathing deeply in and out, laying on my side on my back or standing doesn't help at all. the first time i had it a couple years ago i thought i was having an asthma attack but my mom said it was too low to be that. iv had the serious attack a few times since then the last time being 3 weeks ago. i thought it could have been an anxiety attack or a panic attack, my mom theorized a cyst but i really dont know what it is. i cant find a common trigger, i just get this pressure ever few days and very rarely i will get a serious attack. i dont know what it could be any theories? i absolutly no idea what it could be. i dont get that stressed out. when i am stressed i get the pressure, i get stressed again and it doesnt happen i dont know what it is

spunkedup21 replied: "My best theory would be an anxiety attack. Just remember to take deep breaths and let them out slowly, this will help as you already said. However, I would suggest making an appointment with your doctor and tell them about this. If it is asthma related (if you currently not diagnosed with it) Untreated asthma as serious complications."

crcow bird replied: "If is asama you will have a wheezing sound when you breathe, usually when you get a asama attack you are out exercising, or you are allergic to a plant or weed around you. Hope it helps:)"

Over using Albuterol for the inhaler? I've been needing my Albuterol so much that two puffs doesn't open up my windpipe anymore. Sometimes I take up to 5 puffs at a time. Once in awhile I'll even throw in some albuterol from my nebulizer if I'm really having trouble. Is this dangerous? I know I sholdn't, but there's nothing else I can do because so many common things are closing up my windpipe so frequently. I am also on daily asthma medications singulair and symbicort. Any suggestions and information? What triggers my asthma: weather changes eating too much anxiety exerting myself accidently forgetting to take my daily asthma meds for a day

Camille L replied: "Well, I think that you are using it so much that your body is becoming dependant on it. I have asthma too and I try and use it as less as possible. Talk to your doctor. This can make you have bad side effects like uncontrollable shaking and throwing up. This happened to me when I first took albuterol. This can be dangerous."
