It's challenging living with one. And yes it's hereditary. My father died of asthmatic attack in 1999. We made sure we never lacked inhaler at home, a times we experience sleepless night when it gets triggered. My dad developed it during his 40s. We are six children and non of us have it yet and I pray we don't. Haven't seen what my siblings and my mom went through, I personally can't marry someone who is asthmatic. Asthmatic patients in Nigeria don't live quite long because of the toxic air we breathe in.

are you damn sure it asthma anyway.... thought my dad was suffering from the same thing not until 8 yrs after his death I personally got to know he might be COPD, which I'm having same symptoms now not yet diagnosed anyway yet, but he was heavy smoker and dry gin etc....they have almost the same symptoms too .
buh the later is far deadly.

forreelliinc:

whenever he is having an asthmatic attack, you will need to give him head so the tension in his lungs will go into his balls

also you should not let him go to sleep with blue balls otherwise the tension from his balls will go to his lungs and chest

what's this one saying??

anyway waiting for the virtual doctors in the house

Get inhaler ready always do not expose her to dust or too much fry fry in the kitchen and if you dey nack her be very sensitive or else you nack her go heaven

Let your spouse be seen by a pulmonologist or even a general practitioner who will monitor him,educate and give medications to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.

Asthma is not hereditary but it runs in families.

I am asthmatic.
I am a medical doctor.

My parents are not asthmatic, neither is any of my siblings.
My paternal grandfather and 2 uncles(now late) were

Last attack I had was 5 years ago in 2014.
I visited a relative who used old rugs and ceiling fans were consumed by dust.
That was all...I was nebulized in the hospital and given medications.
I have been attack free since then.
That does not mean I cannot have an attack if I'm exposed to the allergens.
Asthma is not curable

No Worry, Every couple has their own cross. #for better for worst#

Hello.
Please i want to know what it is to have a spouse that is asthmatic. In all my life, i have never been with or known anyone that suffers from asthma but i would be getting married to one very soon.

What is it like?, Is there any effect on the marital life? conjugation, child birth, hereditary etc.

I am so worried as my would be spouse now daily come up with different stories of fatigue, tiredness, weakness, allergy and all sort that were perfectly hidden before now. I'm worried really...

.Thanks for your honest inputs.

Nothing to fear about just encourage her for regular routine checkups and salbutalmol inhaler should be in house and no rugs in house this advice will do

You don't have any worries. I am sure he takes his preventive meds as at when due and maintains avoiding what triggers his attacks. What triggers a crisis in Mr A might not trigger Mr B. Overall good practice to avoid medically known triggers.

Now coming to if you would have a normal life with your spouse I can confidently say from experience a big YES.

Loads of people live with Asthma and some not even noticeable u till they tell you.

I have been able to manage mine and so far no issues. The oza room duties are well taken care off if that's where you also want to know about.

Of course if one can deal with that why not other duties in and around the house?

So please go ahead and marry that love of your life. Congratulations!!

URS IS LIKELY CONJI AND NOT ASTHAMA, HOW CAN YOU ENCOURAGE PERSON WITH ASTHMA WHO IS ALREADY SHORT OF AIR AND OXYGEN TO BE GIVEN HEAD

it's not konji it is a medical condition

hmm op better listen to me o, when seretide and ventolin fails, that's when you apply some head

People shaa see human being

CyberEBOLA:
What i am sure about is that asthma is hereditary. Meaning your children are likely to be asthmatic.

This is the first time I'm learning this

Bless u man

Pr0cter:
It's no biggie. You have nothing to worry about. Just recommend seritide inhaler for him whenever he has an attack. That's the best relief for asthma and it prevents continuous attack.


Congratulations all the same.

My brother my sister it is not easy o


One I know died during child birth and her baby is a carrier

Op google is your best friend not nairaland

You just have to be there for her always and make sure her inhaler is always beside her, i guess you might have watch Nigerian films that involves asthmatic patients in action, that's how it is in real life, the attack can come any time but she should be prayerful, it can be cured.

I am mild asthmatic too or let me say I have allergy; meaning I am allergic to dust (I don't sweep nor enter a dusty room).


Whenever I enter a room that nobody has lived for long, I will have mild attack like difficulty in breathing and once I take a ventolin tab, its over.

So op, don't listen to people, asthma is not a big deal if the person understands how to manage it.

I wasn't asthmatic from birth, it developed in my adulthood, how I can't tell.

Not all asthmatic or people suffering from allergy got it from birth, some develop at adulthood.


Athsma is not hereditary but like this poster rightfully said, it runs in family.


The poster saying asthmatic people don't live long in Nigeria, WTF is that Me that will live like 98yrs plus in very good health more than Mugabe

This guy is in love and that's cool..

Guys here will never discourage you from coping with your asthmatic Fiancee.. .

I know feminist will not do the same if the case were to be reversed...

My advice is that you speak with her.. You may need to see health practitioners for professional counseling

Major problems in Asthmatic people are the triggers..

Once they can avoid their specific triggers, they are good to go..

I am sure she knows how to deal with them already...

Also, I don't think it has any negative effect on pregnancy and childbirth...

Does she use her inhaler regularly??

Start her on prednisolone, sold under the Brand name Perilon. I used to use inhaler before, but man, that shit made my asthma worse. They said that the salbutamol releases a chemical in the lung that relives you, which is true, but it makes it your lung worse off. So, you practically become dependent on it. But I started using prednisolone, and I haven't used inhaler in months. Take two, morning and night for five days. See if there's any improvement. Please, tell her to also practice stomach breathing, because most asthma patients breath with their chest, very very bad. God bless.

MountainView:
I have a course mate that is asthmatic, but if you see this my guy cooking with red or groundnut oil,you go dey wonder whether this guy get asthma true true, I've never seen him use his inhaler, though he always carries it around.


Let me shock you more, this same guy has ulcer but the kind hunger wey him dey endure pass fasting.

If you're doubting his ulcer, he doesn't eat beans,neither does he take carbonated drinks.

Eleyi strong gan, person different from person o
Body differs

Hahahahahaha fake news carriers, the doomsday town criers, what if you develop asthma tomorrow, does that mean people should run from you too

Everybody is prone to asthma, not all asthmatic patients developed it from birth, some developed it at adulthood, it can kick off at any time, so don't be too sure that you are completely free of it before u go about blowing danger alarm lol








I expect God forbid from u as a typical Nigerian

It means you'll be a young widow very soon!

There is really nothing to worry about if you know how to manage it
