Re: New and questions about vitamins

Happy New Year, everybody.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to start taking a multi-vitamin and Omega-3 fish oil capsules. Nasty smelling things! My breathing seems to have gotten a bit worse, but it could easily be the cold weather and high humidity. Has anybody had any experience with either of those behaving badly, and/or negating the effects of any meds they were already taking? Thanks.

Bill, All I know (from my Doc) if you are eating a good diet you do not need vitamins unless it's a specific. We do not need to try to increase our immune systems because it is already in high gear causing scaring in our lungs. But you should be talking with your Dr about vitamins. The prednisone and other drugs some need decrease the immune system, thats why we must be careful around anyone sick. I know some think they need to boost the immune system. Again discuss this with your Doc.

Hi Bill,

I would definitely discuss the fact that you're having more difficulty breathing with your doctor. That is always cause for concern though it may well be cold or humidity as you suspect. I always have much much more sob when it's cold.

I take a multivitamin without any difficulty at all. It's hard to imagine that fish oil would harm your breathing but again we are all different and I would be unwilling to guess at it. Give your doctor a call just to be on the safe side!

Hope you're feeling better soon!
