Asthma

StarBuG

Thus, the forum is not so empty, this time my post about asthma

I have run out in the studies that I have allergic asthma (GINA 1, ie lightest stage)

Even as a child was known that I have a house dust mite allergy.
I did as a child, especially at night coughing constantly and my parents almost driven to madness.
Somehow, however, no doctor came up with the idea that I might have asthma.
(A bronchial provocation test was done to me before!)

Many people are not aware that there are some asthmatics who are not striking with shortness of breath, but by constant coughing (so-called "Huster").

Nowadays it happens from me and yet (perhaps once every 1-2 months) that I wake up in the middle of the night with a massive coughing fit.
But I have heard a mitlerweile inhaler with a cough and betamimetic briefly thereafter.

So if you have a child or knows someone who constantly coughing at night, then give the time a tip.

ps: Asthma is also part of my PhD thesis.
In my thesis is about the long-term behavior of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)) in atopic children (children with allergic asthma.
FENO is a marker of bronchial inflammation and appropriate asthma control therapies.

I also have asthma. Took a long time until the diagnosis was made. It was always said I have chronic obstructive Bronchtis.
True bad breath, I had 2 years ago. Now I have a cough duration.

Have you gone through the whole time allergy diagnosis?

So whether you are seen as house dust mite allergic to?

For coughs it is often a trigger that can solve, but fortunately, relatively well with a house dust remediation.
Mold in the apartment could possibly be also a trigger for it.

If you have not done it yet, I would advise you to get tested in an allergist to thee times.

We have mold in the house, in the basement. We probably have) Groundwater (. The mold may soon go to the basement.
Have any allergies, but there was nothing to be done.

With too many allergies can unfortunately do nothing.
The so-called "desensitization" (the body accustomed to the allergy triggers and generates tolerance) is I believe only when you have no more than 2-3 different allergens, one of the sensitive.

Do you have a long-term therapy every day when you cough?
Listening to cough up when you have a betamimetic (inhale or something like Foradil Berotec)?

First and foremost, I have infectious asthma. During infection, the peak-flow values are worse.
I take atmadisc and Salbu-Hexal.
