I had pneumonia and went to the hospital. They treated me and I left. A week later they told me to take an albuterol inhaler for two months everyday, every 4 hours. Ever since then I've been having asthma attacks and never had a sign of one before. I used to be a runner and now I couldn't make a mile if I tried. By the way, the pneumonia felt nothing like the asthma.

A girl friend of mine went out drinking tonight and she is currently passed out. She's pretty out of it, but her breathing is fine and she hasn't thrown up any that I'm aware of. She is just kinda difficult to get up. Since her breathing is fine (much more than 10 breaths/minute) and she isn't cold or blue do you think she can just sleep it off?

I live with my grandmother, who came here from Greece a couple years ago. Lots of time, before I go to school in the morning, I have a cigar while I'm taking a bath. She told me that it could electrocute me. Could she be right? P.S. her first two husbands died accidentally.

My baby is 7 months old with asthma and I want to know if I should buy a cool mist humidifier to help him breath at night, cause he always wakes up coughing weather I do the nebulizer before bed or not. Will this help him? Also, what store can I get a small, cute, and inexpensive one for him? AND one more thing, If you have an experience with asthmatic children, can you give me ideas, clues, or any type of advice for me to help him or understand what is going on with him and stuff, cause I am not sure about it since I never experienced this with anyone or myself?

Thanks so much!

Today, I went for my first cardio workout (a run) in about a year. I used to ride bicycles competitively and was alwas in good shape.

Anyway, I have been having some issues with my lungs and the run made me think of asking a question on here:

Here is the history:

Male, 36yrs old, thin

1) I have been living on a boat for 2 years - a very moldy boat.
2) I had a chest x-ray 2 summers ago for a fall I took on the boat that may have caused injury. It didn't, but the doctor noticed I had fluid in my lungs and asked me if I had been coughing. I was completely unaware of the fluid. He said I had "walking pnemonia (sp)"
3) Over the years on the boat, I would become short of breath at times, get headaches and get dizzy if I had a particularly bad mold day. I also noticed that doing little things like lifing up a small boat caused a burning in my lungs similar to what you would get if you were running too hard.


QUESTION: Any ideas what's wrong with me? Can mold ruin your lungs?

I have had this complaint for almost a year now. My nose is terribly blocked, and I find it hard to breathe. Other times my nose is runny. My breathing is very noisy. My GP gave me a spray last week, its not helping at all. He thought I may have had polyps, but when he looked up, he just said the lining of the nose was very thick. Has anyone had this condition, and what did you do.

i wanted to try it because its hard to wash them properly under the tap, you cant get into the little hole in the centre.
The dishwasher would get them cleaner and more hygienically clean, wouldn't they?

i am a singer. singing is what i love to do. but for some reason it has become difficult for me. even to talk sometimes is hard because it is almost painful to do so. i am still able to sing thank God, but it hurts sometimes. and when i try to hit those high notes i used to, its almost like something is blocking the sound from coming out. does any body know why this could be ? i am having a voice analysis in December and i pray that they will have answers for me, but i wanted to see if there were any answers out there. i also have not been able to smell for almost 2 years. i hope someone as answers. thanks.

Well, I also have a 10 month old baby who still sometimes gets up at night, so it's been over a year since I've had a total night's worth of sleep. My husband's snoring is really unbelievable, I mean, the sound makes the mattress vibrate, oh gosh, I'm so tired and so sleepy and don't know what to do anymore, any tips?
