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.

Speak to your doctor

Talk to your doctor about it. My son was diagnosed with allergies. The next day I kept calling back the doctor's office because he kept coughing. Finally a doctor returned my call, heard him coughing and wanted to hospitalize him immediately for asthma.

Coughing is a sign of asthma. I rarely wheeze. Call your doctor.

I use both. Most of my attacks start with a cough and gets worse from there. I even get the dry heaves because I can not throw up. They fixed a hiatal hernia. Sorry to be so graphic But it makes things realy bad. I think it would help if you talked to your dr.

but your doc has to adjust meds not this site.

My son has asthma and his doctor told me that his excessive coughing is a reaction to an asthma flare up. He has an inhaler and the coughing goes away immediately after using it.

An inhaler may help, I used one for a long while, it was the only thing that worked

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
