Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / January 2005Asthma but it isnt maybe?????
Is there anyone here that has or has heard of this: Bad allgeries that cause post nasal drip that goes into your lungs, and casuse asthma like symptoms?  Signature-Jamie > Is there anyone here that has or has heard of this: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > -Jamie For the last forty years. Have some kind of allergy or other year round. Pulmonologist scratched the asthma dx and blamed the drainage. When i control the drip? -? i have no symptoms. It was like pulling teeth to get the allergist to come off his asthma idea. Dorothy ? So what do you use to treat the allgeries? Did you get all of the normal asthma symptons?

Doc gave me Singular and Allegra..........................didn't do much. GP said to try Benadryl at bedtime.?? That works. > Did you get all of the normal asthma symptons? > ? I'd cough until i wheezed and then just kept coughing and wheezing. Since it was only a problem at night, the allergist decided it was caused by GERD? -? he guesses a lot. Had the look-see for GERD and there was no sign of it. Got lucky that something cheap and OTC solved my problem. ? ? WOW, I am glad benedryl works for you. I think benedryl is a wonderful drug, but it comes no where close to treating my allgeries... Signature-Jamie > >> So what do you use to treat the allgeries?

If your allergist is missing the mark? -?? try another one. Have you had all those 'nails in the arm' tests for sensitivity ? I've had better luck with an ENT than with allergists, because the drip thing is partly a design issue. ? > ? > -- [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Had the look-see for GERD and there was no sign of it. > > Got lucky that something cheap and OTC solved my problem. ? ? > If your allergist is missing the mark - try another one. Yea, I need to give him another shot. > Have you had all those 'nails in the arm' tests for sensitivity ? Yea. So I know exactly what I am algeric to.. Well I have it written down... > I've had better luck with an ENT than with allergists, because the > drip thing is partly a design issue. Good point, I will keep that in mind...

In fact, a year after my asthma was resolved with antibiotics (because it was the kind of asthma caused by mycoplasma and chlamydia pneumoniae), I began having trouble again, which freaked me out. I went to my doctor who said the post nasal drip was the culprit and he switched me from Allegra-D to Zyrtec-D and I got immediate relief. This is not unheard of, Jamie. |
