Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Same thing in our case .. my daughter left Africa (where we suspect she was exposed to mould) a year and a half ago. Never had a problem with her until about 3-4 months ago. Since then her coughing doesn't seem to stop, she got pneumonia out of the blue and her pediatrition put her on asthma meds a month ago.  I would also very much like to hear from those of you with more experience .... is it possible after all this time?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 , Aside from any possible lingering effects of the mold exposure; one thing to check might be what the side-effects are for any of the heart medications you are on. I was on toprol after heart surgery and a few months later developed asthmatic symptoms, which I later found out was a side-effect of the drug. After weaining off the drug, the symptoms went away. Have you had an ekg, just to rule out any heart issues? Have you ever had an rbc blood test to measure your mineral levels? I know someone else had asked if you take magnesium? It is good for both the heart and can also be good in opening up the bronchial passages.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi, You may have developed Reactive Airway Disease. Have you had tests done to see if mold was inhaled and possibly in your lungs. You can have a sudden onset or an exposure you did not realize that may have triggered an onset of any number of things. I have a very good paper on RADS if you are interested. Send back for the docs.   God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen _______________________________ From: Meng <moldsick@...> Sent: Sat, November 28, 2009 9:15:06 AM Subject: [] Asthma onset after 2 yrs of no mold exposure Have a question for you, I have developed a tightness in the chest and a cough the last month or so and as my husband and 13yr old daughter have asthma from their exposure , am wondering if I have also developed it and whether that is possible after being mold free since April 08??
