Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Herbs and acupuncture work really well for breathlessness. I would advise finding an acupuncturist in your area for your mom. The sooner the better. Simultaneously I would get a second opinion with another physician, a pulmonologist perhaps or a good country doctor. liz lizz <chuchutra1n1 wrote: Hi, My mom is not keeping in good health for last 2 months .

The general physcian said these are only allergy due to abruptive weather condition and prescribed sioneuron forte & theobid [ salt theophylline ] for 5 days .Taking these medicine her body became stiff, she started breathing in jerks & developed acute pain in her stomach . Although the doctor asked to continue the drugs , visualising her physical & psychological conditioned I stopped the medicine after 2 days . Pain in her shoulder declined .She started feeling better in a day . But after 2 days she developed dry cough , and coughing went on for several hours continiously , resulting pain in her chest , sputum also started moving through wind pipe up & down. Antibiotic[ tetracycline] and many allopathic , homopathic and after that ayurvedic medicines to cure cough administered too her went futile . At present she is not taking any medicine and having breathing difficulties. I'm extreamly worried about her and would like to know what is going on exactly. Could Acupuncture help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. liz New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 hi lizz: that is my opinion: if the diagnosis of asthma is correct, Inspiratory Salbutamol and steroid like Budesonide are enough to improve her breath quickly. the effect of accupuncture is not confirmed by the clinic study. yours, Dr. Lu liz lizz <chuchutra1n1 wrote: Hi, My mom is not keeping in good health for last 2 months .
