Information on Allergies And Asthma Relief: Symptoms & Solutions
Asthma and Allergy Guide: Natural Solutions for relief of allergies and asthma.
The FDA is evaluating available data for a potential link between some serious issues involving mood changes and behavior affecting patients who take Singulair manufactured by Merck. The asthma drug Singulair has been associated with unpleasant mood changes, suicidal thinking and suicide itself.
"The following additional adverse reactions have been reported in post-marketing use: Psychiatric disorders: agitation including aggressive behavior, anxiousness, dream abnormalities and hallucinations, depression, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, suicidal thinking and behavior (including suicide), tremor."
Asthma is a disease that is characterized by increased responsiveness of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (main airway) to some type of trigger that causes widespread narrowing of the airways that changes in severity either as a result of treatment, or spontaneously.
A recent US government report states that 16 million adults and 9 million children now suffer from asthma, wringing $13 billion from the nation's annual health-care bill. The causes of asthma remain unclear. Cancer isn't just one disease, it's many diseases. It's the same way with asthma.
Perhaps it's the way we seal ourselves into our newly built houses. Or maybe how obsessed we are with keeping ourselves free of germs and disease. Or maybe even that we now cure our children's fevers with Tylenol instead of aspirin. Or perhaps it's all of the above and more.
The major features of asthma include:
Hyper-responsiveness of the airways to a specific trigger or group of triggers.
Obstruction caused by one or more of the following:
- bronchospasm (contraction of the smooth bronchial muscles)
- mucus formation
- inflammation
- edema (swollen lung tissue)
Reversibility: The changes in the lungs that occur as a result of an asthma attack are not permanent, and will resolve either spontaneously, or with treatment.
Asthma triggers can include but are not limited to:
- allergens (pollen, dust, animal dander or foods)
- smoke (environmental or cigarette)
- exercise
- cold air
Many people with asthma find that strong emotions, stress or anxiety can make symptoms of asthma worse, especially during a severe attack. Sometimes asthma symptoms appear for no apparent reason.
More than fifty percent of Americans tested positive to one or more allergens, according to a large national study. The new findings show that 54.3% of individuals aged 6-59 years old had a positive skin test response to at least one of the 10 allergens tested. The highest prevalence rates were for dust mite, rye, ragweed, and cockroach, with about 25% of the population testing positive to each allergen.
Treatment with melatonin — a hormone believed to play an important role in the sleep cycle — improves slumber for people with asthma, says a Brazilian study in the November 2004 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The women in the melatonin group had greatly improved sleep quality, compared to the women who took the placebo. There were no adverse effects reported by the women who took melatonin.
Flavonoids have been found to be beneficial in a number of areas associated with asthma. Reduction of histamine levels, either at source or at histamine receptors, has been noted in numerous studies on flavonoids.
One of the most beneficial groups of plant flavonoids is the proanthocyanidins (also called procyanidins). These flavonoids provide many health-promoting benefits.
Although they exists in many plants and red wine, grape seed extract is the best source of procyanidins.
The most important properties of flavonoids are that they are antihistamic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and have the ability to “saturate” the body at dose-dependent levels.
Deficiencies in essential fatty acids (omega-3), zinc, magnesium, pyroxidine (vitamin B6), niacin (vitamin B3), and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can lead to excess inflammation and an increase in asthma symptoms.
A new report claims omega-3 fatty acid supplements can protect against exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in asthma sufferers, adding to previous studies linking fish oil to lung health. Research shows that a diet supplemented with fish oils reduces airway inflammation.
