Which specialist should I consult if I have Asthma? You should consult a General Physician or Respiratory Care Physician who also are called Pulmonologists. Is there a cure for asthma? Asthma can be controlled effectively by medicines especially inhalers. These are safe to use and have minimum side effects, if any. Asthma cannot be eradicated from its roots as this is more of a hypersensitivity response of the body to certain allergens. One should accept the disease and learn to prevent an acute attack. Does it run in the family? Yes, there are documented cases where heredity also is one of the factors causing asthma. Will I get it if I get repeated attacks of cold? Contrary to popular belief, asthma has nothing to do with common cold. Asthmatic attacks can occur in spring when the pollen count is high. High pollen count can also cause sneezing and running nose. Will traditional medicine cure me of asthma? Traditional medicine has always been used to treat asthma and fish medicine is one such medicine. Its effect is still being studied. There are no scientific studies to prove the claim made by the practitioners. Will I get asthma if I am allergic to dust? Maybe. This is one of the predisposing causes for asthma. Is it true that inhalers should not be used by asthmatics because they are addictive? Inhalers are very important in the treatment of asthma. They are not addictive. |

Posted on: 11/13/2011 Another consideration is the humidity level in the home, which can be measured using a hygrometer. A dry atmosphere has health concerns and it is a humidifier that is used to add moisture to the air in the home. A humidifier can be either for the whole house or a small humidifier ideal for a room.

Posted on: 07/24/2011 My belief is asthma is alelergy of lungs. Same allergies in other parts of the body are named differently. eg. allergic conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis. I also belief that the allergies in muscles causes myalgia, in joints causes arthralgias and arthritis. Skin eczzema is also somehow related to it. All of these can, should happen in the same person, may be at different times, usually unpredictable for time of onset and severity. Genetic factors are definitly related, but sometimes no family history is found. May be its incidence is increasing

Posted on: 07/05/2008 In early 2009 KarmelSonix Pty Ltd an Australian company of which I am a Director will be releasing the Personal Wheezometer - a hand held device the size of a mobile phone. The Wheezometer will revolutionise the home monitoring and management of asthma by providing a device for use at home, or at the workplace, or at the sporting club to accurately and personally assess the state of the asthma by measuring the wheeze rate - number of wheezes per minute - using very highly sensitive sensors embedded in the unit.
