Breathng Disorder Posted: 08-16-05 17:54pm


My wife was recently exposed to nitric oxide gas, and now has breathing difficulties. The doctor put her on prednisone and inhaler therapy, but whenever she stop the prednisone, her symptoms get worse. Will her condition improve?

It will most likely get better and improve with medication... And slowly the doctor will probably ween her off the medication and she will be fine again. There is a drive to breathe, called the hypoxic drive.. And that can be slowly be fixed. But research on hypoxic drive and you'll have an idea of what it is. Good luck. =d
