can you get asthma or are you born with it?

remerton7 asked:


I constantly have people saying they have asthma and can’t blow in the breathlyzer. These people have plenty of breath to smoke and cuss me, but can’t blow in the tube. I’ve never seen anyone atttempt to blow in the tube have weeze, or cough, or anything else associated with asthma. Has anyone seen an asthma sufferer actually have real trouble with the breathlyzer?

***HDK*** asked:


I had an asthma attack today (while biking in the cold), and, because it is the first one I have had in a decade, I have no medication. I have been short of breath for hours today and i am starting to feel light-headed. I will go to the doctor tomorrow, but in the mean time, I just need to get my breath back, even little bit. I am having trouble taking deep breaths.

Mrs.H asked:


My husband and I are seriously considering having a baby. Only thing is, I have chronic asthma that requires me to use two types of inhalers a day. I want to be able to have a healthy baby but at the same time, climbing the stairs is a challenge for me now, plus if you add babay weight to that it could be extremely difficult for me.

I grew up around cats,dogs,and other pets.I never had any allergies to them.A few years after not being around cats,I went to my friends house and had a bad allergic reaction to her cat.Has anyone else had an allergy just pop up like that or is it something else entirely?

subarugirl06 asked:


And how often should the carpets be shampooed? My husband is fine with the cat at his parents when he lived there, who has very long glossy fur. We just got married and moved to a townhome with more carpet cover than his parent’s house. Any pet lovers with allergies have any recommendations? Obviously we will be keeping any cat/cats out of the bedroom, and none of the furniture is cloth (except for the couch, which we will get a slip cover for so I can just pop it in the wash to clean it, and eventually get a leather couch instead). We already have a great vacuum (Eureka with an enclosed Hepa filter, was very highly rated on consumer reports for pet fur/dander). I’m going to get a very good pet brush too and brush our future cat/cats everyday (we want up to 2 cats, but will probably start with one just to see). We plan on getting short hairs with courser coats since I heard that is better for allergies. Just so you know what we have though of in addition to cleaning carpets.

KDub asked:


Does anyone have any advice for me? My 2 yr old male black dachsund is losing his hair, has rashes in his armpits, and sometimes spits up plhegm. ive been to the vet and they have run blood tests and told me cats but since they were out of my life the allergies have not gone away. when we give him steroids its better but we cant continue with them much longer…

additional info:
we had allergy blood tests done at the vet. it came up pos for cats. but we have completely removed all traces of cats from our lives. we have seen 2 vets. they do now know what to do. we give him fish oil everday. steroids every other day. we have him on specialty anti allergin food. he is energetic and happy other than the hairloss and rashes. sometimes he bites at his feet. we have not had any skin scraping done.
