If you’re an asthmatic, how can you tell the difference between an asthma attack and a panic attack?
I’ve had asthma for approximately 14 years but it’s gradually getting worse as I get older and my attacks are more frequent. I’ve been put on additional preventative medicine but have always wondered about the difference between asthma and anxiety/panic attacks. I’m not sure if I experience the latter because my asthma does scare me on occasion. Is it normal to get scared during an attack? How can you tell if it’s just a little fear or full blown anxiety?
Things I have been experiencing lately are: wheezy cough, chest soreness and aches, breathlessness, and feeling as if weights are sitting on my chest. Sometimes I feel achey and weak all over. At times, I get frustrated when my asthma is out of control because it’s hard to breathe but I do not hyperventilate or experience a racing heart. I just have difficulty getting a breath and I become really achey, especially after I take my rescue inhaler.
What am I experiencing and is it typical for an asthma attack or panic attack?
I think you’re experiencing asthma attacks. I have asthma and anxiety and I don’t know.. I guess I just "know" the difference when it happens. An asthma attack is like.. no matter WHAT you do, you can breathe in or out without feeling like someone’s choking the life out of you until you puff your inhaler. An anxiety attack is more… well.. i can feel it coming on. My body starts shaking a little, my mouth goes dry, and I hyperventilate. When it comes to actual breathing, I can better control my breathing during an anxiety attack as opposed to an asthma attack.
This is probably one of the best questions I’ve read so far. You should ask a doctor about it though. These are just my experiences. Great question =)

Is it possible to have asthma and not have asthma attacks?
I think I might have a minor case of asthma because my chest hurts badly when I run and for the rest of that day. I’ve never had an asthma attack, so is it at all possible to have asthma?
I have an appointment to see a doctor but I wanted to know if anyone knew beforehand.
Yes, it is. Symptoms are
* Tightness in the chest
* Characteristic ‘wheezing’ sound, especially when exhaling
* Shortness of breath
* Persistent cough, especially at night
* May have increased pulse, anxiety or fear
Asthma has typically been divided into two major categories: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic, or atopic, asthma is generally considered an allergic condition, with a characteristic increase in levels of serum IgE-the allergic antibody. Intrinsic asthma is associated with a bronchial reaction that is due not to allergy, but rather to such factors as toxic chemicals, cold air, exercise, infection, and emotional upset. Both extrinsic and intrinsic factors trigger the release of chemicals like histamine that mediate (produce or control) inflammation from mast cells-specialized white blood cells that reside in various body tissues, including the lining of the respiratory passages. The rate of asthma in the United States is rising rapidly, especially among children. Reasons often given to explain the rise in asthma include: increased stress on the immune system due to greater chemical pollution in the air, water, and food; earlier weaning and earlier introduction of solid foods to infants; food additives; and genetic manipulation of plants, resulting in food components with greater allergenic tendencies.
There are four important dietary therapies in asthma: elimination of food allergies, following a vegetarian diet, and elimination of food additives. If you’d like to read more, go here:

What’s the difference between out of puff and asthma attack?
I have read in the Asthma magazine a report to an asthmatic middle age man, he said that many people do not know the difference between being out of breath and asthma attack, can anyone explain? I think that gasping for air is like asthma attack or is not? Thanks for answers.
Exercise related gasping is just the bodies response to your cells needed more oxygen than your lungs are currently providing. This will soon pass as you stop exercising. In a full blown asthma attack the little air passages (bronchioles) become constricted and it is hard to get air in or out of your lungs. These people do gasp, but it doesn’t stop until the bronchioles relax with medications (either inhaled or steroids) Or, in worst case scenario the person will be intubated and have a machine do the work for them. So to answer your question, it is completely different.

How much does asthma medicine for a nebulizer cost?
My girlfriend may need to get a nebulizer to treat her asthma. We are having trouble finding an average cost for the medicine used with one. I realize that there different medicines that can be used, but what is the average cost we can expect for the medicine?
The actualy nebulizer is pretty pricy…from 100 to 300 hundred dollars and the actualy medicine itself actually is pretty cheep, about 55 dollars but it comes with 50 vial tubes and only one is needed in each treatment.
THen again you need to see what your insurance covers because with our insurance the machine cost $50 and the medicine $22.
Good Luck, hope you can find your answer!
