nkemjacob2:You are right, not all asthma is hereditary. Some can be due to environmental factors, some can be triggered by work environment. I did not develop asthma until I went into the forest in one of for 3 days in my final year at the university. It is not so serious? It is triggered by a combination of factors like stress, cold, excessive busy environment and malaria.

khome: In simple terms...Hereditary means...Because your family member had it,you have it..Or it is as a result of what you get from your parents.. Asthma can develop without any family member having had it. Other conditions that are not hereditary but run in families include: Hypertension Diabetes mellitus Epilepsy Peptic Ulcer Cancers,etc. If there is a family history of these diseases,you are at increased risk of developing them. They are not hereditary, only running in your family and any offspring in any generation can develop them. Generally,That's why when doctors are taking history, we ask if any family member had/has any of these conditions.More important,if a patient is suffering from one of them. Common example of hereditary disease is Sicke cell anaemia. It cannot just develop. One must inherit the sickle genes from the parents. By the way,I am not "Sir"..." Ma'am" will be better. Thanks. Hope this answers your questions. |

HBB1: Sir/ma, are you asthmatic? If Yes, is it severe? I'm talking about 'adrenaline injection' - ask any health professional you know, it's very reliable when an asthmatic sufferer (not patient) is in crisis. I only take in 'severe' time. About the dosage - it's once (I don't know how I will 'just kill' myself with it. Why I suggested three is for him to have it in store - that injection is very scarce. I'm not asking him to take the three at once - Haba! |

SenecaTheYonger: Do you know what steroids can do to you? Whatever happened to using a simple salbutamol inhaler or 'Seretide' to control the asthma, if it is really disturbing you-- and by that I mean like 2 attacks a weak. Steroids should only be used after you have a hospital visit for the asthma-- uncontrolled by the above methods. Because you can get your hands on it, in a lawless society as ours doesn't mean it is harmless. Sofry sofry o! 1 Like |

HBB1: Are u even asthmatic? Salbutamol is a death sentence. I used to use a special honey found in GH for over 8 years to keep my asthna at bay. Only for me to come back to 9jeria without it for a funeral. 3 months in, I get my first attack. No honey in this country works. So I buy Salbutamol. Worked first time. Worked second time, now I start getting attack daily. Wtf!!! Google Salbutamol, finds out it kills the lung slowly. I can literally feel my lungs blocking even after using it. Got to the hospital, doc says to take perdisolone, 1 tablet, twice a day, 5 days total. Haven't had an attack in 3 months. Yh, fvck inhaler. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by HBB1(m): 8:31am On Oct 12, 2019 |
SenecaTheYonger: You don't even understand how the medicines work. Do you know what the prednisolone does for you? The five days you use it for, is it as a reliever or preventer? Moreso the dose you are using is all wrong, thankfuly it's low. Was that the only thing your doctor said or gave to you? ( Sounds quackish if that's the only thing) Anyway, whatever works for you-- it's not my body it's going into. I will rather inhale a steroid, than swallow it. P.S-- Salbutamol is not a death sentence. People with COPD use it like they are drinking water. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by usy309(m): 8:34am On Oct 12, 2019 |
Actually, there is nothing to worry... Just the way you manage it....all u need to do avoid those factors that trigger it.. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by SenecaTheYonger: 8:43am On Oct 12, 2019 |
HBB1: You are right about inhaled steroid being better than swallowed. Swallowed used long term has serious side effects. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by SenecaTheYonger: 8:46am On Oct 12, 2019 |
HBB1: Maybe you sell Salbutamol inhaler? Anyways, no one should use it that frequently. Salbutamol is the short acting b2 agonist (SABA) and is the most frequently used inhaler as rescue treatment for all asthma patients. Long-term and repeated use without consulting a doctor and without controller and prophylaxis medication can increase asthma-related complications with increased severity of asthma exacerbations, cardiac arrhythmias and hypertension. With frequent usage for a long period, it becomes ineffective and may lead to hyperinflation of lung. Therefore, it is very necessary to use it with controller medications rather than taking it in increased frequency. |

Whereever your spouse is, inhaler must be there. Get a nebulizer. Some outlive it. Herbal stuff too are helpful too |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by scriptaz18(m): 9:10am On Oct 12, 2019 |
HBB1: You don't seem to understand me - I'm not arguing or here to subtly insult you. I speak intelligently to you as a sufferer, which you are not, let alone a health professional. My reference is on the 'crisis stage' - adrenaline's reaction to stop a raging attack is quicker than aminophline. Get this right - they don't inject it at once; it's a shot after a shot. I speak about what I know as a sufferer and other sufferers' experiences as well. You'll do more to Google about the treatment of asthma with adrenaline than for you to droll over what you don't know or have a firsthand experience about. Thank you. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by Toxay(m): 9:21am On Oct 12, 2019 |
Please stop miseducating people, the prednisolone function to prevent the asthmatic attack but in a case of this attack, your salbutamol(inhaler) is your immediate therapy as it reverses the bronchospasm. Secondly, there is nothing like too much oxygen during asthmatic attack, that's false. Like i said earlier, there's bronchospasm which is constriction of the muscles of the walls of the bronchioles which would cause reduced intake of oxygen (airway). I repeat, your inhaler is your immediate treatment with a nebuliser in some cases. And lastly, salbutamol does not destroy your lungs too SenecaTheYonger: |

scriptaz18: You don't knowwho I am or what I do for a living... If you need an adrenaline shot for your asthma, you should be in Intensive care. You are misusing it and you don't want to understand. You also realise aminophylline isn't first line treatment, though it is abused in Nigeria? The day someone's heart will stop with all this rubbish people do... Anyway, it's your life, but please don't recommend what you know nothing about to people. 1 Like |
