During an Asthma attack, a chemical is released in the body which causes the linining of the airway and in some cases the bronchus and lungs to swell. This means that there is a reduced area for air to travel though. This can often be demonstrated by breathing through the middle of a toilet roll (the cardboard bit) - this is your open airway; and then breathing through a reglar McDonalds straw - your reduced airway.\n\nVentilation is then reduced. The side effects of this are increased acidity in the bloodsteam (Carbon Dioxide Levels Rise) and in severe cases the person will faint and possibly go into shock.\n\nAsthma is easy to treat with an inhaler such as Ventolin. These contain drugs which have anti-inflamatory properties which counter the effect of the chemicals causing the swelling.\n\nTom Walvin\nBiologist

You really need to talk to a doctor about this.  Steroids can increase your aggression and decrease your impulse control.  Depending on the specifics of your mood disorder, this can be very dangerous.  TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

If you are taking prednisone to treat a long-lasting disease, the medication may help control your condition but will not cure it. Continue to take prednisone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking prednisone without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking prednisone, your body may not have enough natural steroids to function normally. This may cause symptoms such as extreme tiredness, weakness, slowed movements, upset stomach, weight loss, changes in skin color, sores in the mouth, and craving for salt, and may cause death. Call your doctor if you experience these or other unusual symptoms while you are taking decreasing doses of prednisone or after you stop taking the medication.

Steroids.  That's their intended purpose.

Sleep apnea is a disorder that can cause hypertension and heart disease. About 15 -20 million americans have this problem and sometimes it is due to obesity. So how to cure it? There is a special therapy you can have where you wear a special mask that delivers continued airflow thus preventing you from those short spans of time that you would be holding your breath.\n\nAre you taking meds for the asthma? Always make sure to have your inhaler on hand and whatever you do dont carry around an empty one just in case you have an attack.\n\nAllergies? I have been doing alot of reading on the internet about how to combat this problem and it is becoming more and more convincing that going raw foodist is the very best thing anyone can do even if they have no allergies.Part of the allergy problem stems from all the corrupted foods that we eat.\n\nLactose Tolerant simply means that your stomach is unable to break down the proteins in the milk properly therefore you become all bloated and gassy...when you go raw food, milk products are one of the first things to go so you wouldnt even need to take those special pills that are available when you know you will be consuming anything dairy.\n\nHope this helped and hoping you a healthy long life...

The side effects relate to the dose and type of anabolic steroid you take and how long you take them/\n\nHealth problems such as high blood pressure, liver damage, heart damage can occur if you take large doses or take steroids for long periods.   More commonly you will get pimples, headaches and when you stop taking the steroids feel depressed and lose the muscle you gained.  Yor testicles will shrink and you will have trouble with your libido and getting it up.\n\nBuild your muscle naturally through smart hard work - it will last longer, look more sexy to the ladies and you will not have any touble in the sack if you get the opportunity!\nSteroids are for lazy losers who end up being fat slobs!!!

I take inhaled corticosteroids for asthma control.  I have been on them for about 10 years.  It is the only thing that has reduced my asthma attacks and allows me to be around animals...I am allergic to them but love them.  I also take allergy shots and they seem to help as well.

Was it a steroid shot?  Sometimes steroid shots can cause the fat around the injection site to dissolve.  It's a harmless reaction, and the dimpled spot will fill back in eventually.

As an ex-model, steroids had done wonders for my body and my career. I've done them the smart way, under the supervision of a doctor (who's my friend) and few famous professional body builders (I'm a female)\nIt depends how you do steroids, what amounts in what period of time you do, what kind of "antidotes" you use after the "cycle" to clean out your liver/kidneys and whole body.\n\nOne thing that I will vouch for 'till the end of my days is Human Growth Hormone. It is not considered a 'steroid" but you can think of it as one. hGH has saved my life, rebuilt all destroyed organs in my body (as a youngster, I did lots of heavy drugs while partying too much), it made me totally healthy. Since a kit works for 7 years ahead, my body STILL burns fat on it's own, all my wrinkles from tanning too much dissapeared, my hair and skin are just flawless. all doctors I told the truth to, confirmed that it is because I took hGH. When I first started taking it, I was only 18- it made me grow 2 inches taller. And I didn't get any side effects from it, because I took prescribed dosages.\n\nSteroids are not totally "evil". It's evil and wrong to take them without previous research and supervision of those who know how to take them safely.

My Dad had this. I think it depends on if other areas/organs are involved & how involved.  I hope the person who you are inquiring about will be okay. Originally that had told my Dad 2-15 years but it depends on many things.  Have you looked into the steroid treatments? You can look up the American Cancer Society online and see if there are any clinical trials of different things in your area.  Good Luck to you and yours.  God Bless.

Alternate heat and cold therapy; take ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen; see your doctor for other options (short course of steroids, muscle relaxants, opiate analgesics, physical therapy).

You really need to see your doctor, obviously your    medication for asthma is not working the way it should.  If you can't breathe on your own during sexual activity you shouldn't be having it.  You are putting your life at risk and think how your gf would feel if you died during intercourse?

don't mess with asthma!  Trying a bunch of natural nonsense drugs may get him into a life and death situation.  Look at your house, see what is causing his problems, smoking, paint fumes, animal dander, dust etc.  eliminate it from your environment and pray for him to outgrow it.  a number of kids do.  As for the weight, you caused it by overfeeding him, you have to take steps to help him eat healthy foods.  Keep him away from jusk food, no soda, no cookies , no crackers....teach him to eat good food and he will lost the weight.

Try swimming. Devolping your lungs and cardiovascular system can reduce the symptoms of asthma.

If you are fit, you could have fewer asthma attacks.\n\nWhy is swimming a good exercise for people with asthma?\nSwimming helps people with asthma develop lung capacity and good breathing practices.\n\nSwimming is a great exercise for people with asthma as you breathe in warm, moist air rather than the cold, dry air that can lead to asthma symptoms.
