A member asked:
I'm pretty sure she has laughing induced asthma. she literally chokes for a good 30 seconds after she laughs really hard. what can she do for this?

See doctor: Laughing is a common trigger for asthma and I suspect that your friend has some degree of asthma most of the time. The Rx is the same as asthma.

See doctor: Laughter can definitely trigger asthma. She needs to be evaluated for this as the doctor may find other triggers. After examination she may also need lung function tests which may reveal bronchospasms and bronchoconstruction. The doctor may decide to give her rescue medications like albuterol inhaler or she may require preventative medications like montelukast orally and /or budesonide inhaler.
