Asthma Support Group

Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.

Anyone else use it? What are your experiences? I was just put on it yesterday. So now I have it along with symbicort and ventolin.

I'm having a really hard time today. Shortness of breath, chest and upper back soreness(burning when I breathe), shortness of breath, lots of mucus. Thanks for the hugs. I hope it gets better today. I don't want to end up in the hospital or have to go to the ER.

I hope you feel better soon. Try to drink a lot of water and juice. Sometime that help get that stuff out of your chest. Try to eat some soup or something warm. Sometime warm food can help open up your lungs. Try to get slot of rest and take it easy. Try to not to t
Walk a lot. If you have to walk then walk slow and take your time. I know sometime I walk too fast I get out of breath.

Hi,,,I have been on Alvesco going on 4years. I was on Azmanex before and my dr switched me to Alvesco. I love it! Never have to use my rescue inhaler at all. Plus the one good benefit is that it was made not to cause thrush or any throat problems. How are you doing on it now!!

I'm still in my asthma flare up unfortunately and am almost off of prednisone. I've been using one puff of alvesco in the morning and only really bad days a second puff in the evening. On bad days I have to use my rescue inhaler fairly often. I also have a mucus clearing device(PEP) that helps some.

    On Saturday, while I was at yard sales with my best friend, my lawn guy texted me that he did my lawn.  This costs me $70 every two weeks or so.  I don't have great grass so sometimes, he skips.  Anyway, I paid him on CashApp when I got home.  On Sunday morning, he texted me again, to say goodbye because he was moving.  My little thinking cap went on and I thought about how I am healthier...
