Treating asthma is something that many people are familiar with.
Asthma is something that affects people worldwide, from all walks
of life and of all ages. (...)
I’ve been reading about the air pollution in the
nation’s smoggiest town, Arvin, California, this morning. How
awful! It’s bad enough that we may be genetically predisposed
to asthma, but to have healthy parents and polluted
air…it’s just awful! We visit my mother-in-law in the
San Fernando Valley every summer, and the sight of the [...]
Asthma as all know is not curable but with proper long time cure
can be prevented with a proper plan of action. Always have an
action plan ready for asthma in terms of how frequent are the
attacks, what causes the attacks, emergency numbers handy
so that one can connect in case of a sudden attack. This can help
you in managing your asthma along with
your regular checkups with your family doctor or
specialist. Take proper medicines and how to use it to the best
effective manner to show its effect. As I have seen people who take
inhalers but in a wrong manner due to which its effect does not
show.Regularly take your Peak flow meters test and keep a close
track on the rise or fall in the readings. Keep close track of what
triggers asthma by making note of it and infor...
Drugmaker Merck says the medication should be available at

In today's post I'm speaking to Andrew Scholl, a physician's
assistant, who runs his own family practice called Primary Care
Associates, in Jonesville, Mich.Laurie Tarkan: What intrigued you
about using IgE blood testing?Andrew Scholl: I always prefer to
treat patients by finding out what I might be able to prevent
rather than writing prescriptions. For illnesses like asthma, I was
really interested to find out what might trigger it. IGE blood
testing gives me the opportunity to find out potential triggers of
asthma.Another example is eczema, another condition that providers
will simply write a prescription, without getting to the question
of what's causing the eczema. I also have patients that come in
with allergies, who are taking all of these medications, but
they've never been tested t...
I’ve been breathing pretty well as of late, and
I’m stoked about that. However, I kind of
quit checking my PFs for a few days so I didn’t
catch onto this flare until it was a little too late. I can
still increase my Symbi a little, too. Wednesday I woke up tight
and the [...]
A note from healthtopics.ca about this author: Adara is not the
author's real name. Think of it as a mask worn by this person who
lives with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although you do not
know her real name, her story is real. Her short life has been
filled with unimaginable pain. Now that she knows she is living
with Borderline Personality Disorder she is committed to getting
the help she needs so that she can live a full and satisfying life
WITHOUT this disorder. I asked her to share her story so that
others may benefit. Too often families don't know their loved one
is suffering with this disorder so it gets left untreated and
becomes worse, sometimes resulting in suicide. In many cases, as is
the case for Adara, they have sought therapy and still remain
undiagnosed. In A...

There are two types of asthma inhaler that functionally work the
same way. How they differ is the type of medicine inside.
Researchers have demonstrated that ozone can react with the
nicotine in secondhand tobacco smoke to form ultrafine particles
that may become a bigger threat to asthma sufferers than nicotine
itself.
If you spend August sneezing, ragweed may be your allergy enemy.
If, like clockwork, you suffer in the spring, tree pollen may be to

Facial pain. Nasal congestion. Postnasal drip. Fatigue. These are
hallmark signs of chronic sinusitis, a swelling of tissue in the
nasal and sinus cavity. The illness strikes millions of Americans
each year and is one of the top five reasons patients visit their
primary care doctor. Treating sinusitis is difficult in part
because it’s often not known if the cause is
viral or bacterial. Unfortunately little information on the subject
is available to internists says a new study by a Georgetown
University Medical Center (GUMC) internist.
“Chronic sinusitis is an often debilitating
illness with symptoms comparable to those of serious medical
diseases,†says Alexander C. Chester, M.D., a clinical
professor at GUMC and practicing internist at Foxhall Internists
based in Washington, DC. ...
