Stressed Out Mom Brings on Asthma in Kid

[Guest guest]

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – You often hear that stress can bring on health problems, but a new study finds a mothers' stress can increase a child's risk for asthma. This was one of the first studies to look at the connection of maternal stress and asthma beyond the postpartum period.

The study was led by investigators from the University of Manitoba, Canada. Investigators analyzed medical records of nearly 14,000 children born in 1995. Researchers had medical records for the children and the mothers until 2003. Researchers determined if the child had asthma from the medical records. They also determined the stress level of the mother from the medical records. They divided the stress level into four categories including no distress, postpartum distress only, short-term distress and long-term distress.

Interesting reading, but I wonder if anyone has done a study on kids

stressing out their Mom's and bringing on asthma attacks!!!!

I have three teens....need I say more.

I also have a question, I have found after finding it hard to breath

and having a couple of puffs off my salbutamol inhaler, (I'm also on

symbicort x3 per day, and singulair and now Diclofenec for arthritis

pain) I have a red rash down my throat and chest - on the outside, It

doesn't itch or anything, but I've had several comments from folks

asking if I'm okay, I feel alright, but is this common? I forgot to

ask the Doc yesterday when I went to see him.
