I've recently been prescribed advair for my mild asthma. I haven't started taking it yet because i read some of the warnings and they scared me. One warning said that one ofthe ingredients in it caused death in some people. My doctor insists it's safe, but last year he also said that using albuterol everyday was safe, and now he's changed his mind about that. I'm wondering if the risks are worth treating my mild asthma. I usually use my inhaler 2-4 times a day for mild wheezing, usually after i wake up and after i eat. I know that's to often, but are steroids necessary for this? I tried singulair and it didn't really help all that much.. Please if you are on advair leave me a comment. Thanks

Yet he smokes a pipe throughout the day, has no problems taking long walks, mowing his yard or doing other physically demanding chores. He said he receives a monthly compensation check from the government for this disease. It doesn't seem that he is disabled to me. Any comments?

My mom is 60 and has COPD (Asthma & early Emphasema). Occasionally during her daily activities, which are not necesarilly stressful, she stops breathing -- that is to say mechanically (or neurologically) her diaphram momentarily ceases its natural rhythmic movement and she has to consciously force herself to breathe.

She say she feels as though her diaphram is temporarily paralised and with great determination she has to calmly force herself to breathe again.

Does anyone know what this is called or what can be done to help? Thanks so much.

then second hand smoke won't cause them to get asthma. So why ban smoking?
I'm just looking at this from this view for the first time.

I cough almost constantly and always coughing up mucus. Some times its yellow or green, but mostly bubbly clear and has (looks like very small pieces of lung in it.) I'm scared that I am slowly dying. I'm tired all the time. Most of the time all I want to do is lay. My appitite is very poor, I seldom get hungry. I have lost weight and now only weigh 90 pounds. A little over a year ago I weighed 135. Insurance company's turn me down because of preexisting, copd, RH, Hodgekins, I don't know what to do. I can't afford $800 month insurance. I get friends to get prescriptions for albuterol and combivent. I started taking pills (hydrocodone) as they help me so I can breathe normal so I can work. I can get insurance through my new job in 90 days.

I have had horrible sinus problems during the last week. I can barely hear with the ringing too. On top of that I have a bad cough. What is wrong with me and how do I get rid of it?

I had some headaches and nausea and the doctor said after some anlyses that I have anemia.
Now I have other symptoms like I feel something just above my nose (like something is moving or nausea I cannot tell) and my eyes hurt.
But I don't have a runnning nose just that discomfort senation.
Could it be sinusitis ? ( I am not sure of the term) Or what else. Thank you.
