Any quick home remedies for asthma/shortness of breath?

Question

Every night I feel as though I'm suffocating, like someone is sitting on my chest. I can't lay on my back (not to be perverted, but I'm a DDD and it just puts more pressure on my chest), I can hardly breathe on my side, and on my stomach its the same as being on my back. Its terrifying, but I can't afford to go to the hospital for it, and I don't have time to go to the doctor during the day because I work lots of hours. Anyone know of anything that helps, something I would have at home already?

Answer 1

I know what you are saying, I have asthma and a large chest so it becomes hard to breath laying on my back. The easiest way, well the only way for me to sleep is on my right side because there is less pressure that way. Anyways, I don't know about a quick fix, and truthfully don't think there is one, but if you can not afford doctor bills (like myself) or do not have the time to go I recommend doing yoga. The breathing exercises help make breathing easier so sleeping and physical activities become easier to breath while doing them. I'm not saying start going to costly classes’ everyday, just invest in a yoga DVD so you can do in your spare time.
Hope that helps you out some!

"Other possible causes of asthma in vulnerable individuals include allergic reactions to dietary substances like wheat, dairy products, chocolate, nuts, preservatives and other chemical food and beverage additives."

I can vouch for this. I had severe asthma when I was young. I stopped having dairy, and the asthma went away. Its been 16 years since.

I don't know of anything at home, but you may want to order this for your next discomfort: http://www.nativeremedies.com/asthma-natural-treatment-biovent.html

You may want to consider weight loss. Eat right, do excersize, engage in spirituality, take a substantial multi-vitamin, consider a fast for a couple days or week to get you started - here's what I generally recommend: (juice fasts or lemon/stevia/cayenne/water are usually good to flush out anything that is flooding your system.)

If your wieght is ONLY in your chest, which for some odd reason I doubt, and if weightloss doesn't help, consider reduction by surgery, but take precautions, and you may want to prevent bacterial infection prior and afterwards with: grapefruit seed extract, cayenne pepper to stimulate circulation and aid healing, Olive Leaf Extract.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

Answer 9

I had a similar problem. This is what I did.

* I stopped drinking milk. (www.notmilk.com)
* I did a 10 day fast (www.curezone.com)
* I sleep on my stomach with a body pillow.
* I use a humidifier with Eucalyptus Oil.
* I use a steam inhaler about once a week.
* I don't use any alcohol, drugs or tobacco products (never have)
* I don't use any prescription medications any longer.

I went from several asthma attacks per week to about three in the last three years.

Answer 10

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!
