Re: Asthma Attack or Reflux

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

Me too. I think mine is sinus drainage more due to turning on the

heaters and drying out the air than anything else right at the moment.

Although, I did have a cold virus a couple of weeks ago, and haven't

ever completely cleared out from that. I guess my point is that this

time of year it could be so many things. Try using a dehumidifier at

night where you sleep. Also, try an OTC decongestant and see if

treating the symptoms helps. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Sharon,

Hi Sharon,

Unless you have other reflux symptoms my guess would be allergies if

you have them. I was having a lot of drainage after being sick

recently and used Mucinex for a while. I think it helped with the mucus.

It sounds like thicken sinus drainage to me. I " ve got same thing. Take

an antihistime to control drainage. you may need to see an allergiest

and have testing done. to get things totally under control. My

allergist told me I was allergic to things in the air like pollon ,

dust, molds ect... and he put me on shots and daily antihistime. Does

it interfer with your breathing? What meds are you on?

Hi Becky,

for my Reflux I'm on Nexium 20mg 1 of a morning & Rani2 1 of a night.

Asthma meds I'm on ventolin, Intal Forte & Seretide.

I know what I'm allergic to Pollen, cut grasses, cigarette smoke,

change in temperature mould, mildew & at times leading up to menstual

cycle makes my asthma worse these are all what flare up my asthma.

I had allergy shots when I was younger as I had bad sinus then, but

my sinus has been good that good I haven't suffered with sinus since

then.

Thanks for you reply.

Sharon- this is usually sinus drainage /post-nasal drip coming down

from above, but can lead to asthma attacks AND reflux. The extra

mucuous can play havoc on both. You may want to try a sinus rinse

like NealMed and/ or something like Mucinex to thin out the mucuous.

At least IMHO :-) Good luck!
