This weather doesn't favour asthmatic patients, so please try keep her warm. The house must be warm always, no more fans for now. If you like fried meals, please go and do it your self but give her small to eat .she should always exercise when she doesn't have congestion. Take all rugs away, use the drugs prescribed by your medical adviser or which ever she has been using, never run out of inhaler, she can take lime/lemon water once in a while and a lot of natural foods or fruits that helps to relieve breathing problems, Aboniki balm can ease the chest and back aches, so wear your massage gloves and most importantly she should never bath with cold water. You can buy a nebulizer and ventolin nebules(doctors prescription) to be used at home if she is having serious congestion, but please if it gets out of your control, go to the hospital. She needs to learn how to manage it because at some point the doctors will blame you if you become a regular visitor. Asthma doesn't kill, its Ignorance or carelessness that kills. For instance a diabetic man that has a wife who always feed him with foods high in carbs or an hypertensive man whose wife will never stop using excessive salt and spice in his meals or an asthmatic woman with a man that always wants the fan on even during cold season and negligent whenever she is having crisis( difficulty breathing) Spouse help each other live longer, be a good husband. My dad has been asthmatic for over 40years, he has been on drugs and observing all the safety routines. He never runs out of any drug or inhaler or nebules and medically, he is 100% strong. 2 Likes |

Megaflex: 1)She should always be in touch with your family doctor or pharmacist. If you don't have, get one. 2)Get 2 inhalers(seretide and ventolin). 3)She should be 100% conscious of what she do and eat. With those 2 inhalers she won't have any problems. Best Wishes |

I have an asthmatic wife too. The attack is more terrible during pregnancy. From experience these are my advice that will give best result.... 1.Look for consultant Respiratory physician. 2. Buy a nebuliser with 5mg Ventolin nebules 3.Buy this drugs a. Montelucast b.prednisolone c. Seretide evohaler(if he uses it frequently attack won't come) d. Ventolin inhaler(whenever she has attack) e. Hydrocortisone injection whenever she has problem breathing. No fear... All the best |

I manage mine by having two inhalers, I ensure I do not walk in the rain, I don't fry things with palm oil, I don't stay in choked up places. I take caution when it comes to the type of spray and perfume I make use. I don't smoke neither do I stay where people smoke. I avoid car fume and dust, proper ventilation when need be. When I see that I'm out running out if air I try as much as possible to yawn, helps a lot. |
Re: Please Help: My Wife Has Asthma by chigoizie7(m): 7:01pm On Jul 04, 2020 |
Megaflex: There is no cure for asthma. But you have to learn how to manage it. First of all, your wife should know what triggers her own. There are so many triggers. Cold, dust,shoking smells ,smokes, aerosols( pungent smells of some perfumes and body sprays or insecticides), coughs and catarrh. Asthma is associated with lungs inability to expand very well so as to allow the free passage of air while breathing. Some lungs when stressed or triggered tends to constrict thereby making the air passage a bit difficult. So you will ask your wife what triggers hers. Aside that. There is an inhaler called seretide it is a bit expensive. It has a total of 60 inhalations. If she buy it and use it for 1 months without missing any of it. It will always go a long way. 1 in the morning, 1 at night. It is better she prevents it before it starts. Once she realizes that she is pregnant. She should make use of that inhaler, but she will have to consult a doctor to tell her how to use it incases of pregnancy. But oga, you have a great job to do. Because to avoid some of those triggers, you will have to start doing something’s. For example, cooking foods that entails frying oils and smokes from cooking. All these things boils down to knowing what triggers her own asthma. I have asthma. I manage mine as well. I do not do things that will make me breath heavily for a longer time and I also avoid excessive laughter to will also avoiding some of those triggers. Smokes doesn’t trigger mine as I used to be a smoker( I stopped though, when I realized that life is sweet). Aside the use of inhalers. She can be using some of these drugs, they are very cheap to afford. Aminophiline, franol, ventolin ,predesolon. 2 mg each, very tiny, one in the morning, one at night. But sometimes it can make one dizzy. I prefer to take the drugs to the use of inhalers, I still have inhalers scattered all over my house and in the car, some in my friends houses too. Whoever I meet, based on our relationship, I always tell people about my condition, Incase. I do not hide it from people so that if anything happens, they will know how to start helping me. |

[quote author=fayluv1 post=91374263]Nothing to fear brother. I stopped using inhalar years ago when somebody introduced me to these cheap drugs. At 1st i take it morning n evening but now i only take it when i find it difficult to breath. Ventoline, franol n predesolone. When is serious i take 2 of each but i usually take 1 each.[/quote This is good enough. However you should always have an inhaler handy in case...... |

Megaflex:Asthma can't be cured, but can be managed. Some asthmatics outgrow their conditions, and some patients fare well in some environment than others. Take her to a medical practitioner to examine, test and prescribe drugs for her. That said, you may invest in thick warm clothings for her, avoid fried foods, dusty environment, smoky environment, chilled drinks, cold foods, strenuous exercises etc. Your doctor should advice you if you need an inhaler or some pills to manage it. You may also invest in a nebulizer should in emergency cases arises when no first aider is present. Do not buy drugs or inhalers for her without medical prescription please. |
