Open Question: I am coughing and having trouble breathing and nothing is helping!?
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:37:42 GMT)
I developed what seemed like a head cold LAST friday (not yesterday). I was sick all day on Saturday and then felt better on Sunday. But then by Monday I felt like crap again. NO fever, just severe nasal congestion, headache, tired, and backache. Then halfway through the week it turned into sneezing and less head congestion. A couple days ago it went to my chest. I used to have asthma and whenever I get a cold it flares up. BUT this time my xopenex is not working. I am coughing and my breathin

My dad spent one month in the hospital with h1n1/viral pneumonia. He originally went there for what his doctor told him was pleurisy. After four days right before discharge he went into some sort of relapse and they found he had viral pneumonia and tests later found he had H1N1.

Voting Question: Has your toddler ever taken Xopenex?
(Sun, 02 Aug 2009 02:33:04 GMT)
My son has been prescribed Xopenex off and on for several months. I have noticed that when he takes it he becomes a terror to say the least. He is easily frustrated, tears the house apart, and is physically aggressive at both home and daycare. I can see that it makes him high strung, but this is beyond that. He sweats profusely, angers easily, bangs his head or bites himself at times, and is very emotional. I know he needs the medication and the Dr said that Albuterol is even worse, but I h

I have wheezing and coughing but very little pain. I do feel like there is chest tightness that is limiting my breathing. I am not sure if I should go to the hospital or not.

The breathing treatment worked for a little while and I did follow up using my xopenex inhaler as directed by my doctor. I am not actually sure that the solu-medrol did anything at all because even for

my allergies/asthma have been off the hook in the last few years, and I even find that my allergy meds stop working every so often, and I find myself having to rotate them around, and then the new ones start working again.

My immune system was so low that I kept getting sick al

recently my 2 year old was diagnosed with environmental allergies. He used Pulmicort with the nebulizer 2x a day and he used Xopenex the first few days until he could breathe better.

Right now, every time he lays down he's coughing so badly that it makes him throw up. It seems like it's all upper airway and not in his lungs, so no concerns about that for the moment.
