What should I do about an asthma attack? I currently have tightening in center of my chest and hard to breath. I was diagnosed with a very very mild form of asthma a long time ago but never ever had problems before. I am wondering, should i go to doctor or should just pop some allegra d or singular? I do have allergies.
Allegra D might help, the d is the important part. Buy a Primetine mist. If it continues to be a problem, go to a doctor. There are prescription medicines that work way better than anything you can buy without a script. Albuteral is a good rescue inhaler [stops attacks]. Singular is an asthma prevention medicine, but it won’t help an attack, takes hours to work.

You should probably go see a family doctor and see what he says. He should prescribe an inhaler. You should have an inhaler with you just in case.
If it’s hay fever, a lot of people are having the same problems. Hay fever is bad this year.

There are natural ways that really help cure asthma and i thought you might want to read this and copythe word Respitrol in google.com to search find out more
Read how Respitrol™ helped Debra and her son Kasey!"
She is not only a satisfied customer. . . she’s also an employee!
I have been a chronic asthmatic for over 17 years and also suffer with arthritis, osteoporosis, and hypertension from the use of steroids. I had been using inhalers seven to eight times daily, hospitalized three/four times a year, and visited the ER (Emergency Room) weekly. My son Kasey was diagnosed with asthma in 2003. He has been on medications since that time. The medication he was taking were Ventlin 90MCG every six hours, Intal Inhaler two times a day, Serevent Diskus 50MCG two times a day, Aerobid Inhaler two times a day. Kasey’s peak flow was usually 150-200. This past year I took a new job at Micronutra Health. I was immediately interested in their asthma product and gave some to my son. Since he began taking Respitrol on June 7th, I have not had to give him any of his medication and his peak flow has been over 220. I started taking Respitrol as well and after three days, I noticed that I was not using my inhaler at all. It took longer to conquer the arthritis in my arms (a little over a month). The arthritis is completely gone; my breathing, though not quite perfect, is much better than it has been in years; and my blood pressure is good. I have been energized from head to toe. I thank God for leading me to this company that has developed such a wonderful product. I look forward to taking Micronutra products for many years to come.

Get a prescription for a rescue inhaler and take it with you at all times. Identify what you are allergic to and avoid whatever they are. Singular is helpful, but is not made to rescue. Stress and emotional situations can trigger asthma attacks as can certain types of foods.

well first check ur lung funcation with your peak flow meter and then fallow ur treatment plan and if it get worst go to the emergency room asap and take ur rescue medication. OR if it not serious talk to ur asthma doctor as soon as u can. Talk to ur doctore about changing ur medication

the singular is an asthma prevention med and needs to be taken on a daily basis to work. It acts as a smooth muscle relaxer but does not work in an emergency situation.
Avoid buying anyhing like Primatene Mist as these have been proven to cause several deaths
Is this different than what you feel when your allergies act up?Dont let it get any worse< go to the ER and be sure and ask for an inhaler

HOW I CURED MYSELF
My Story……….
For your health, trust me and please read all. This is a long post but it may be your salvation from ills. It was for me. Read on……………….
This may not work for everyone but it surely worked for me; AND, OMG did I need help!
When I was about 34 (I am 56 now), I began coughing all the time. I went to a Pulmonary Specialist and he did some tests and told me I had adult onset asthma. He provided no treatment for the occasional cough. The next year, I went to work in a VERY smokey office and began coughing up mucus plugs all day long, everyday. 10 years later, I began to wheeze and put off seeing a doctor until I could stand it no longer. A Pulmonary Specialist, he did some testing, said I had COPD. I was having a terrible time of things and he gave me Advair and Singulair and Albuteral to use. As time past, I’d get worse and he would give me Cortisone shots, a Z-Pak, a Prednisone taper, along with the Advair and Singulair and Albuteral. In time, I was also using a nebulizer taking breathing treatments (Xopenex) 4 -6 times a day along with everything else. My visits to the Pulmonary Specialist became more and more frequent and at the last I was rushing to seek treatment every 4-6 weeks. And the treatment was always the same; Another Cortisone shot, a Z-Pak, a Prednisone taper, along with the Advair and Singulair and Albuteral and Xopenex. I was getting worse and worse.
Also, I had never been, for as long as I could remember, able to breathe through my nose. About 10 years ago I went to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor and had a deviated septum repaired and at the same time he opened up all my sinus passages. Still I could not breathe. He gave me prescription nasal sprays that did nothing to help. I saw another Ear Nose and Throat doc. He performed laser surgery on me, burning the fatty tissue on the inside of my nose. That did not help. I spoke to the Pulmonary Doctor about it; He put me on more anti-biotics for it. No help.
Also, about 5 years ago I started breaking out, mostly on my back and buttocks, wasn’t pretty, I saw two family physicians for that and three Dermatologists. All had me on different anti-biotics, sometimes for months. Nothing helped.
And within the last year I had noticed an infection developing under my two big toes.
I was very unhealthy and after paying mega $$$$$$$’s over all those years to doctors, hospitals, emergency clinics, pharmacies and the like, I was not cured and hardly helped with any of my illness’.
I was resigned to the idea of living a very unhealthy life and was thinking it would be much shorter than I wished.
THEN……………………….. I took a trip to Houston, TX and met a nurse.
I was telling her about my problems. She had been a nurse for 30 years and told me to stay away from the doctors they were making me ill. She said she would help me get better. She said I needed to Detox my body. She said my system was full of toxins and poisons, my liver was probably all clogged up as well as other organs in my body that help filtrate we toxins we take it. She was very big into herbs and had me taking "Milk Thistle" for my liver right away. "Milk Thistle" keeps your liver clean.
I took her advise and went to walmart and bought a detox product called "Whole Body Cleanse". Here is the product >> http://www.enzy.com/go/enzymatictherapy/...
…………I read the directions and then started detoxing.
At the same time I changed my diet to fruits and vegetables, nuts and berrys and salads and I was drinking lots and lots of water.
Within one week my skin problems started to disappear. I knew that hte detox product was working. I kept on my new diet that consisted of the nutritious foods previously mentioned and I have taken the Milk Thistle daily ever since.
Also, I began looking on line for herbal products to take that would rebuild my immune system and my respiratory system as well. While doing so, I stumbled upon a website about "fasting" to heal your body. At this time, about three to four weeks had past since starting the new diet and the detoxing.
Here is the website I stumbled upon >>> http://www.falconblanco.com/health/fasti...
I read that web page, was a very easy to understand explanation about what happens during a fast and what one can expect from one. I trusted all that it said. It made sense to me and I decided to do a water fast. No food, just water. I fasted like that, no food, for 20 days. Everything that was printed on that website happened just exactly as was told. I had no hunger, no weakness (most of the time, read on), I had energy, and strength. On day two I became very sick. I felt as if I had the flu, was feeling weak, my nose started running, I blew it for two days straight, my tongue became coated with a white goo, I was coughing like crazy, mucus started coming out of my lungs like you would not believe, I had a mild headache. All this was explained as our body’s reaction once we stop eating and the body turns to fat cells, tumors, abysses’, intestinal build-up for fuel. All of the fore mentioned are full of toxins and poisons stored in our body throughout our years. As the body ate away all fat stores and other foreign matter inside of me, those toxins got released and would enter the blood stream causing all the sickness. Within one day the headache went away, two days the nose stopped running, and my strength came back. the flu feelings subsided, my tongue stayed white for a week as well as I coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed for a week to ten days. OMG, so much mucus coming up and out of my body; But, by day ten all that stopped, my wheezing became less and less and eventually stopped all together.
I suddenly realized. My skin was clear, I had no coughing, no airway restriction, no mucus coming up, and………………….. Suddenly, I could breathe through my nose! The infection under my toe nails was gone. All my ills, were CURED!!!!!!!
I continued on with the water fast for 20 days before stopping. My diet of fruits and vegetables, nuts and berrys and salads and lots and lots of water continues on; However, I am at times eating other foods too but much less often than before and in smaller quantities.
During this time, seven weeks had past, I weighed 255 lbs at the start and I weighed 215 at the end. That’s a forty pound loss. It was just an incredible experience.
I am no longer using the nebulizer 4-6 times a day, I am off the advair, singulair, prednisone, albuterol, Xopenex; nor am I on any anti-biotics. I take nothing. I joined the gym, get on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a 4 mile per hour walk, no coughing or wheezing nor tightness in my chest; Then follow that with a workout on 10 nautilus machines. I must say; it seriously seems as if I am truly cured.
My suggestion to others is to try what I tried. READ that fasting page that I posted over and over and over again and trust what it says; Follow it to a T. But if you choose to water fast begin the way I did; First do the detox and change your diet for at least three weeks. I believe that had transitioned me to a point where at the start of the fast I did not suffer as badly as I would have otherwise done.
I hope my experience helps others. Do not continue to suffer and do not listen to those docs who will tell you you cannot cure yourself. They did nothing for me except take my money and made me ill. Oh the advair, it will cause cataracts in your eyes. I had taken it so long my vision began to blurr. I went to the eye doctor and he found the start of a cataract in my one eye. Those medicines are bad for all to take.
Here is another website on fasting>> http://www.notmilk.com/hs/casey.html...
I post this to help others. I was so sick and I know what others are suffering.
God bless all of you
