I have raspy/ squeeky breathing. I find in the morning it seems to be worse after a decent sleep. I get up to clear it out, and when i lay back down seems to keep arising... the raspiness, and need to clear.

Ocassionally the phleghm is yellow/green. Ive come quite use to this for the fact i smoke... even though i dont like it. Could it be from allergies possibly, or nasal, or ?? bronchitis...

What are some medicines, or remedies for this?
Appreciation.

I was diagonsed with asthma about two years ago, I am presently on advair and albuterol inhaliers. I have been a smoker for about 34 years and had cronic broncitis for 20 years. I bring up yellow phlem constantly and have trouble breathing so I find myself using the albuterol 3 or 4 times a week. I have told my doctor about all these symptoms but he just increases my dosages. Isn't there a test to tell wether this is truly asthma, and not copd or emphysema. I feel my doctor is wrong.

HEY SMOKERS: Did you know that if you throw a cigarette butt out
your car window you can be fined? This is in Arkansas, I do not know about all the other states.
HEY NON-SMOKERS: I am a non-smoker. How many agree that
that they know it is hard for a smoker to quit? I have a suggestion
that might help the smokers since they are in the situation smoke
and be fired, or smoke & not eat, etc.
How about all of us non-smokers, give the smokers support to
quit. I think we should ask the companies to help their smokers
quit. I think the companies should do a sponsorship program. Have one or two non-smokers take a couple of smokers to a motel
or some other living quarters,with pay for each day, I believe this will help the smokers quit smoking. That would be no different than paying for them to go to a rehab to quit smoking, right? My husbands employer does this, they pay for rehab, for alcohol & drugs so why not cigs? I will start a petition to send to companies if enough agree.

I was diagnosed with this five years ago. At the time the doctor told me I would never get better and that my life expectancy would probably be about 10 years. I've taken Cytoxan and Imuran for it and I'm on 3 liters of O2. Since I started losing weight I feel better and have more energy. My last tests showed marked improvement. Have you or anyone you know actually overcome it, or is the doctor right about the prognosis?

I had walking pneumonia two years ago and ever since then I haven't been feeling so great in the breathing department. Is it possible that the pneumonia could have caused "hidden asthma" to surface? I have always had allergies. Could it be possible I have always been close to having asthma but the pneumonia has finally set it off? I often feel as though there are little straws in my chest and when I breathe they get stuck (as if they are flimsy like when you suck on a straw and try to get liquid out of a cup and it closes up a bit).

Also, I do have an inhaler so that I can take it when I feel tight in the chest. But I was never actually diagnosed with asthma..so I am not sure what to think. Could it just be that I have weak lungs? That they are damaged from pneumonia? I did have it from about August until January and just couldn't shake it completely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

About a month ago, I was out working in my yard. I have allergies to the normal summer stuff like grass & pollen. That night I was having a bad case of runny nose and coughing. The next morning I woke up with what seemed like a really bad cold. Lots of sneezing, coughing, sniffling, etc etc. The coughing would get so bad that I would actually vomit from it. This went on for almost a week, until finally the cold went away. However, a month later, I still have the cough and can feel blockage in my throat or chest when I cough. I am able to cough up mucas and sometimes can't breathe because it is so thick. I don't have medical insurance to have a doctor check it out, but I need to know what this could be?
