Bronchial Asthma With Tb History In the Past Posted: 09-03-06 05:11am
I am a 42 year old male who was diagnosed
with bronchial asthma. I had tb twice and
thus was treated for pulmonary
tuberculosis in 1988 and 1999. I also had
bronchitis in september 2005.
Last year, when I had a cold with nasal
congestion, I had broncospasms. I used
nasal sprays and inhalers for nine months
before I stopped using them. After
sometime, I began to get dry coughs and it
gradually became productive coughs. My
pft readings, when I had a productive
cough, showed “fvc is 109% of the
predicted normal, fev1 is 90%, fev1/fvc
ration 67%, and fef 25-75 is 58% of the
predicted normal and evaluation after
salbutamol nebulizer did not show clearly
responsive airways”.
My x-ray shows fibrotic opacities.
Currently I am feeling weak and I have
cold like symptoms in the evenings with
chest tightness and pin pricking like
sensations. My breathing is also not
smooth. I feel like the air isn't going
all the way down to my lungs. I also have
some phlegm. All tests are normal except
for the pft. I would like to know what
this medical condition is and whether any
further tests such as mri or ct scan or
any other tests need to be done? Kindly
advise.
Thanking you for your help

Understanding And Dealing With Bronchitis Posted: 02-13-07 06:54am
It is becoming all to clear that drugs are
limited in effectiveness when it comes to
fighting pneumonia or bronchitis.
Antibiotics are the answer as far as
doctors are concerned.
But I came across this ebook that opened
my eyes to a lot of things and help me
understand the subject. I was having
difficulty dealing with it because I
didn’t really understand what was going
on, and my doctor kept giving me
antibiotics. Which helped to suppress the
condition for a little while but what I
learnt from this book helped me a grate
deal more. You can check it out for
yourself.

different ways, simply by having a better
understanding of the subject another
website that has a lot of information is
