My mother is asthamatic

In fact,inhaler is not the solution for your mother.Please use Homoeopathic cures for this problem.Get R-76 drops of Dr Reckeweg,Germany and give 10 drops in some water three times a day.You will find lot of improvement.I am a Homoeo Dr and want to help your mother.She should avoid rice,apples and cold drinks.Any asthamatic patient can use these drops.

Hi, You said your mother uses an inhaler twice a day. Did you know there is a way to count the doses? The reason this is important is that the inhaler can be empty before you know it is used up, and can give you a real scare. My husband found a website called Counterstrip.com, on there they sell inexpensive counters for all inhalers that do not have a counter. He used them all the time and it saved us many times from running out of his prescriptions. He took several different kinds of inhalers in a day. I hope this helps in some way your mother. My husband had COPD, and it is a terrible disease. When you are having an asthma attack remember Jesus is the answer, all it takes is saying His Lovely Name...JESUS...He knows what we have need of even before we ask of Him.

I have been asthmatic since childhood and I have been taking the inhaler everyday since then . About food other than the obvious avoiding of food she is allergic to, she should avoid OVEREATING I cant stress this enough you cannot imagine how much a distended stomach worsens asthma , in fact many doctors now think that REFLUX which is food coming out of the overfilled stomach , that reflux is responsible for a large proportion of asthma diagnoses meaning that many patients problem is primarily in their stomachs rather in the lungs or in their immune system . I made the stupid decision of starting to smoke 13 years ago , I hope your mom doesnt smoke because it only adds to the devastation caused by the disease .

My entire family is asthmatic, on various levels of maintenance. There are different types of inhalers, some for on-the-spot relief, and some are twice-daily or so for regular care (like the commercials say, "ask your doctor which one is right for you"). My wheezing is more seasonal-based, depending on pollen, weather and dust, not to mention the occasional cat hair built up in my friends' apartments! But diet-wise, i'd have to agree with the mucus thing-- once i slowed down on greasy foods, dairy products and candy bars, it has been easier on me. This has gotten me to eat lots more fresh fruits and vegetables instead (nothing else left to eat but healthy stuff, anyway). Hope my personal experience helped answer your question.

Hi padmameera.Sorry to hear that mother got asthma.She sounds serious.I got asthma.Actually it genetic from my mother's side.LOL.I don't use inhaler.When i was at primary school,my asthma was quite serious.I can't get close to cat's and i can't really be active in sports because i get tired quickly and i have no energy to do so.My parents really don't know what to do but i forced myself to be close to cats and be active in sports.Really active.LOL.Now im 19 and i can hug cats and i am an active sportsman.I play all kind of sports.Now im a rugby player for my college and i play futsal everyday and i can jog non stop for 30 minutes.Sometimes,my asthma does attack,especially if i enter a house that is dusty or anything like it.It will be hard for me to breath.So,i try to keep away from it.Just an experience.Cheers.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I am also suffering from asthma since I was about 12 years old. I use an inhaler only as needed. I take a pill called Singulair every evening and I have found that it controls my asthma quite well. My asthma is affected by allergies as well as strenuous exercise. She may find some relief if she gets an air purifier for her home, this will eliminate even the dust you cannot see and make the air easier to breathe. I hope your mother can find something to control her asthma as well as I have.

does she smoke? if she does, she should seriously think of quitting smoking. i have asthma and have had it since i was a teenager. i only use a inhaler once in awhile, like when it is super cold or hot outside or when i have a cold. foods to avoid - milk products (they thicken the mucus - i have problems even eating ice cream).

I have asthma and have dealt with it for many years. Mine is allergy induced asthma. For the most part unless my allergies act up, my asthma stays quiet and goes unnoticed, sometimes for years. But this year I have had a bad flair up of allergies and this in turn has wrecked havoc with my asthma. However taking a daily dose of Singular helps reduce allergies AND asthma. I also have Loratadine to take for allergies if needed. For my asthma, I used Advair two times daily (for prevention) and carry my rescue inhaler with me and depending on my asthma symptoms, its either Combivent or Albuterol/Proventil. I also have a nebulizer at home and have Atrovent and Albuterol ready to go in the machine just in case. I have also used Prednisone in the past for bad flair ups. Prednisone works well for me however, it causes my sugar level to elevate, I retain a lot of fluid, and I get paranoid and have horrible nightmares plus I can't sleep for days while on it and then once I am totally off the medication, I sleep just about 24 hours straight. Sorry your mom has asthma. Two of my children have it and my hubby has also had problems with asthma related symptoms lately.

hi there padmameera yes my daughter had chest infection and now she has thoart infection and she gets ashama with it she uses a spacer with the ventolin and my son has got ashama as well its preventer one

well i am sorry to learn about your mother. instead of wasting your time better go for ayurvedic treatment. asthma as i know is not curable , but can be controlled with tight diet regime. and proper care. these inhalers are of temporary use and habit forming in nature.

Hi Asthama is a situation where the natural defence of the body becomes weak. Nutrition has an answer for this. If your mother gets rich antioxydent like vitamin C, it can help her to move over that particular phase of attack. My cousin had asthama problem for over 3 years and was using inhaler. We have suppliemented him with Nutrilite Bio C supplement and touchwood for last 5 years he has never got the attack. A proper dose of Vitamin C, in natural supplement form, boosts the immunity of body and helps the person to fight that phase of weakness. Hope you find this useful. Cheers
