it affects your breathing believe me,They are NOT ok if you are a true asthamatic they affect your peak flow and can give you a bad attack,read the contra indications that come with them when you buy them if you do not believe me.they are not depressants like morphine and codiene.

It's not going to give you asthma.  However, not taking it when you need it can give you scar tissue in your lungs which can cause asthma.  C'mon, who's the better judge of your health?  Your doctor, or your friend?

No, but there are ways to control your asthma.  Try finding out what triggers your asthma, ie allergens, household products).  It is important to monitor your asthma and its severity using a peak flow meter, also make sure you take your medication as perscribed, like inhalers or albuterol txs.  It is important you monitor your asthma in order to prevent you from going into the ER with an exacerbation.  Talk to your pulmonologist if you have one or get one refered to from your doctor.

Coughing and asthma CAN go hand-in-hand, though not always. You can have mild/moderate/severe bronchitis which is almost always associated with a cough that can produce asthma. The asthma, over time, can produce bronchitis. Let your doc look you over. They can help you.

Well, let me tell you what I know about asthma.\n\nWhat causes it?  Allergies can trigger it...Many triggers include, dust, dander from animals, pollen, leaf mold, dust mites and I read that roach pooh can trigger it. (UGH)\n\nMy youngest daughter had asthma and outgrew by age 5.\n\nMy oldest daughter began experiencing symptoms when she was eleven. (shortness of breath and wheezing, especially upon exertion) She is 31 years old now and has lots of problems with it. She has been hospitalized several times in the last few years with it. She uses a puffer. Her Dr prescribed her meds for a nebulizer. For her birthday --I bought her a nebulizer.\n\nSeveral of my grandchildren had problems with wheezing when they were infants.\n\nI didn't experience problems with shortness of breath and wheezing until I quit smoking about 6 years ago. I smoked for over thirty years. I have COPD but I also have asthma. \nWith the asthma I experience shortness of breath. Even getting ready to go to work can leave me breathless, at times. When I have overexerted myself, I wheeze. I experience thses symptoms every day.\n\nPeople who bath in perfume or aftershave really tear my lungs up. I get wheezy after a few minutes of inhaling the mess.\n\nWhen the wind blows, dust and allergens send my lungs into a tail spin. Sometimes extremes in temperature affect me too.\n\nI am on  Zyrtec (for allergies), Spiriva (a steroid dry powder inhaler), Advair (another dry powder steroid inhaler), Prednisone (a steroid) and I also have a nebulizer to use when I am having a really rough time.\n\nSometimes emotions and stress can affect Asthma.\n\nThey use to say that asthma wasn't that serious but now they know different. A person can die with a serious attack. \n\nIf you suspect that you, or any person in your family has asthma, Go to a Dr. Only your GP or a pulmonologist can gauge the seriousness of your condition and prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms and make life a bit easier for you.\n\nTake Care,\n~Linda~

Very often Aspirin will agravate asthma, read the label.

I applaud you for seeking help!  Please visit this website \n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/teen/question/illness_infection/asthma_mgmt.html\n1.  Are you using any maintenance medications to keep your asthma under control like an inhaled steroid?\n2.  How many times a week do you use your rescue inhaler?\n4.  Do you use a spacer?\n5.  When you are having trouble do you tell someone or do you try to hide it/  DONT HIDE IT TELL SOMEONE!  \n6.  Most importantly have you seen your doctor recently about your asthma?  There should be no reason why your asthma is not under control.  If you use your rescue inhaler more than twice per week it means your asthma is out of control.  Inhaled medications, not smoking, and asthma education are key for you!  Congratulations for taking control at this age!

Go see your doctor to make sure that is your problem. If you have had this for a while, you should be on some type of inhaler. Asthma affects people in different ways. If you are having frequent attacks, you should see about getting on maintainence meds to avoid frequent attacks. Also pay close attention to what is triggering your attacks and try to avoid those things. Check your filters, clean the carpet more frequently if you have any, if not try not to have any installed, avoid rugs, dust, cleaning products, animals with fur and dander and a host of other things. Asthma is very serious I know a couple of people who have died from it, please go see a doctor!

Asthma is your real problem.  And worrying too much.  For the weights, use your body for the weights, and your imagination to figure out how.  Whoever told you you are not strong is not your friend.  You are not "anything" right now, you are a kid!  Enjoy.

Aspirin is a highly effective antiplatelet agent, ibuprofen will inhibit the antiplatelet effects of aspirin, making it nothing more than a stomach irritant, ibuprofen is only a short acting remedy for mild pain, inflammation and fever, aspirin does the same thing but works better on the pain, why would you take ibuprofen

Ibuprohen works the best for me. I can double the dose and not have any problems. Okay, my doctor said it was okay to double the dose! sheesh! Asperin doesn't do anything, as well as Tylenol. Advil is the same as Ibuprohen but costs more.

You need to see a physician! You have a serious problem with your asthma. It isn't uncommon at all, but can result in death.

Motrin is generically Ibuprofen...right? so are u allergic to Ibuprofen? if that's the case...then you cant take any Ibuprofen medicine...instead try to take acetaminophen...like Tylenol....i hope i helped u in a way. Besides, oxycodone is the one prescribed by your dentist, take it he will not give that medicine if it will damage ur health.

I have asthma, and I love air conditioning!  I like to breath the cool air better than warm.  It can't be too cold, though.  That's not good.
