Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / April 2005Chest Tightness
I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks." I take Serivent, Pulmicort, Kipress and Sultanol. I still seem to have fairly severe chest tightness. Can anyone offer a solution to this single symptom of my asthma? > I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks."

Signature00doc Thanks...any other ideas would be appreciated. > > I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks."

I feel this some times (and, DO have asthma), but, can also blow the end of the spirometer off. Could be diet--Splenda may cause symptoms like this, could be a hietal hernia, could be medicines interacting. Do you have diabetes? >I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks."

Weird thing about the devices that measure the lung strength, is that when I feel tightness, I either get a normal output or next to it. Sometimes when I have no tightness I get a sub normal output for the FEV. I don't get it and it clearly frustrates my doctor as well. I live in Japan but my doc is licensed to practice in PA where he did his residency. > I feel this some times (and, DO have asthma), but, can also blow the end of > the spirometer off.

I've been tested for heart problems, stomach problems (I do have GERD, but, am taking the prilosec), and lots of other things... > Weird thing about the devices that measure the lung strength, is that when > I [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > tightness. >> > Can anyone offer a solution to this single symptom of my asthma? Oh forgot to answer you question...I don't have diabetes > I feel this some times (and, DO have asthma), but, can also blow the end of > the spirometer off.

Reason I asked, is I kinda think it may be a reaction with my Metformin that I'm taking for diabetes.

Advair twice a day with albuterol as needed. >>I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks." I take Serivent, Pulmicort, >>Kipress and Sultanol.

Don't forget Mary that Advair contains a steroid which would duplicate the Pulmicort yea is already taking. SignatureAlison Chaiken "From:" address above is valid.

My doc stuck me with an IV and dumped some unknown cocktail into it. I am a bit clearer now but I wish this thing would just go away. I am still sucking down all the meds listed below but things are a little better. I dont know how poor people could possibly afford this treatment. > > "yea" wrote in message > > > I dont really cough or have asthma "attacks."
