Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Is it normal for the tightness to not go away? I've never had an asthma attack--with exercise induced asthma I just had difficult breathing. The tightness in my chest has been there for 3 days now. Could it be a chemical they used or I breathed in at the nail salon also? I'm baffled here. Marci herbal remedies , " Lisa de Haas " <lisa wrote: > > Lobelia is your best remedy for Asthma!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 If there is a problem with carrots, might it not have been the carrots that caused it? love Lisa - " Marci " <twilli55 <herbal remedies > Sunday, April 09, 2006 1:21 PM Herbal Remedies - Re: - Asthma > Is it normal for the tightness to not go away?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 It very well could have been--that's what i'm hedging my bet on at least. I started munching on them at lunch about 6 days before that and did this every day. I started having side pains, then they moved up and then my 2 days ago I couldn't breathe. Needless to say I didn't find out about the allergy until after this from my mom :-( I swear i'm never even looking at a carrot again!!!!! :-) It's just so much better knowing I have you all here and Doc's products-I can't even tell you the relief that brings!!!!! Thank you all sooooooooooooooooooooo much-you're the best.

Some common nail salon chems are Methyl Methacrylate, Ethyl Methacrylate, Acetate, Formaldehyde, Toluene, etc. which are all quite toxic, and can cause respiratory distress and/or asthma symptoms..... I would make sure to avoid any types of chemical fumes and/or smoke so that your lungs can detoxify and heal. They could be extra vulnerable/susceptible, if they were damaged/inflammed by the salon fumes. Jan / Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
