I have an increasing frustration as noone has any good reasons. I have been told everything from VCD, though multiple normal scopes during attack, anxiety, to I just don't come in soon enough. After multiple intubations, reap arrest leading to collapsed lung, and now pacemaker for pauses, your article intrigues me. When I discussed it with MD, he acted like I was an idiot.

As an RRT being well informed on this topic brings around better patient care and dissolves friction between the RRT and nursing. The cardiac wheeze is heard loudest with stethoscope on the lower 'neck' and will often transmit fainter wheezes heard throughout the chest. I find most nurses are receptive to the correct treatment when you take the time to share your knowledge.

I have been an asthmatic for a long time but have now been told I have got cardiac asthma as well as bronchial asthma. I stumbled across your blog and was really interested in your post. I am walking a bit of a tightrope as withdrawl of my asthma medications causes my lungs to get very wheezy and these wheezes have been shown to be due to the bronchial and not the cardiac asthma. I am now worried about having future attacks because the treatment for each type is so different. Thank you for such an interesting post, it has given me a lot of information.<BR/><BR/>Mad AsthmaticMad Asthmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900631070917123841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-28268859568090269312008-04-27T09:57:00.000-04:002008-04-27T09:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments.

May I use it for a future post? <BR/><BR/>YEAH, Im pretty much steroid dependent with a maintenance dose of 20mg pred , advair and additional flovent for difficult tapers. <BR/><BR/>Going from 30 to 20mg is the hardest part of the taper for me. <BR/><BR/>Ive been on 20 mg daily for the past years, luckily with only minor side effects. When I was younger I was a maintenance dose of 40-60 and sometimes as high as 100 mg per day.I had really severe Cushings syndrome and a ton of other stuff. It took a full year on Methotrexate and high dose inhaled steroids to come off. <BR/><BR/>So, I take it you're an asthmatic?<BR/>Tell me more about the psych thing.<BR/>Use my regular email if you want. <BR/><BR/>Ciao!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
