I have a severe condition of adult onset asthma. Do you know of the best clinic to determine the root cause?

Answer 1

I have a severe condition of breathing difficulty that initially was diagnosed as adult onset asthma - turned out it wasn't. I also learned there are many lung diseases, and they are difficult for the doctors to diagnose because many symptoms are similar. I have been to Mount Sinai in NYC, Yale, Mayo Clinic, and NY Presbyterian, and I still don't know what is my affliction. My answer as to the best is National Jewish in Denver, CO., it is reported per an article in Time magazine, and via testimonials to be the best. Be careful if you go there, as you may need supplemental oxygen while there because of the 5,000+ altitude. Check with your local doctor, as you will need an prescription for it if you need it. If you go to CO, and haven't been on an airplane subsequent to your asthma, you also might need oxygen on the airplance, requiring advance arrangements. Take care, and good luck.

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.

I cured my Asthma the natural way?

Answer 4

Check with your insurance company or family physician for options in your area. There are numerous things that could cause asthma, as I'm sure you're aware, activities, seasonal allergies, food allergies, exercise, GERD, among many other things. Best option is to find a good pulmonary doctor.

Answer 5

many pulmonologists work well at treating or controlling asthma. if your asthma symptoms are more related to the allergic type then a good allergist can be consulted. the saying we have in medical circles is "asthma is not asthma until you have it". that is asthma gives one little trouble unless they are actually having an attack, then the trouble can be modest to severe to life threatening in minutes. well controlled asthma should take you into a long happy life.

Answer 6

In Dr. Batmanheldi's book, "Your not sick, your thirsty. Your body's many cries for water", the Dr. says asthma is an effect of dehydration. Our brains are about 80% water and our body is about 70%. The brain takes first priority over water consumption and when dehydrated, many symptoms can occur. Water drawn from sponges in the joints is arthritis. When our cells form a waxy substance around them to conserve water, that is cholesterol. When water is drawn upon from the postules in the lungs that help us breath due to dehydration, our lungs close up to conserve that water and we call it asthma.

Try drinking half your body weight in ounces of water daily to reduce your need for medications. Ex: 150 pounds = 75 ounces.

Answer 8

There should be a competent allergist where you live or in the nearest big city. Determing cause does not require the Mayo clinic or something like it.

Answer 9

Do you have allergies? You should see an allergist to determine what triggers the asthma attacks.

Answer 10

To help determine a cause, you should go see an allergist to determine or rule out allergies to certain substances. You should see a pulmonlogists to determine if it is exercise induced related or not.
