Question 4

ate spaghetti squash (w/olive oil, goat cheese, salt, pepper). nose swollen inside, sinusdrainage, asthma. allergic to squash?!? other food allergies.

Accepted Answer

Food allergy: If you ate the squash and had an immediate reaction (minutes to 2hrs) that included hives, swelling, shortness of breath, wheeze, throat tightness, vomiting or passing out then I would be concerned for a food allergy reaction. Would make an appointment with an allergist to determine what could be the culprit foods. Bring list of ingredients eaten that meal to appointment. Avoid foods until seen.

Question 5

why do i have asthma? what are the main causes?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: There is a long list of causes of asthma, from allergic predisposition, to irritant exposure, pollution, work place exposures, frequent lung infections, smoke exposure. Cardiac problems, uncontrolled acid reflux, etc.

Question 6

can inhalers cause asthma?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Often inhalers can cause "bronchospasms". This is more common with powder inhalers than metered dose inhalers.

Question 7

did smoking cause my asthma?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Inhaling particulates like those in tobacco can cause attacks. These substances can cause inflammation which is the primary reaction in asthma followed by constriction of your lung "tubes". Of course, if you have asthma you should quit. I know it isn't easy but you must give it a try. 
Good luck.

Question 8

can you please describe skin asthma and what causes this?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: There is no such thing as "skin asthma" asthma is a disease of the lungs that causes difficulty breathing.

Question 9

can asthma cause a fever?

Accepted Answer

Asthma: By itself, asthma should not create fever. You may have bronchiolitis, allergic reactions, whooping cough or other inflammatory condition exacerbating the asthma. See a pulmonary doctor.

Question 10

what causes an asthma attack?

Accepted Answer

Many triggers: Asthma starts with inflammation of the airways. That inflammation can be triggered by many exposures, such as allergies, infections, and weather changes. Irritants like cigarette smoke and dust can also start an asthma attack. Exercise for many people can also cause symptoms. In the last few years, acid reflux has been recognized as a cause for asthma. Avoiding & controlling these prevents attacks.
