can yeast triger asthmas?

Question

Answer 1

Asthma: Yeast is a very vague term. People allergic to mold in the environment can have asthma triggered by them. There is a mold related allergic reaction that can occur resembling asthma called abpa but it is very rare. So not sure where is the yeast you are inquiring about.

Answer 2

Death: Legionnaire's disease is a severe bacterial pneumonia. There are effective antibiotics but the death rate for persons over age 50 hospitalized with this form of pneumonia is reported to lie between 5-30%. Kidney injury has been reported after legionnaire's disease but I have not seen any patients who developed asthma after having this disease.

Answer 3

Usually death...: The major long term consequence of legionella pneumonae is death or post infectious complications such as kidney failure, pulmonary fibrosis from severe pneumonia, etc. There a mouse study that demonstrated emphysematous changes and bronchiectasis in untreated mice, but there are no case reports of asthma as a sequelae (consequence).

Answer 4

Yes: The basline symptoms may improve for years on end but you are always at risk of a flare. For that reason, getting annual flu shots are critical.

Answer 5

Yes: Asthma is a lifelong illness that may get better or worse over time. It is controllable with medications.

Answer 6

Possible: Some people can out grow asthma and get flare ups only when they are sick , on the other hand there are others who continue to have asthma .But asthma can be well controlled with inhalers and people can lead a normal life carrying on all activities without symptoms .

Answer 7

Depends: Maybe your dose needs adjusting or maybe you need another adjunct medicine. See you doctor to discuss your options.

Answer 8

Cough, wheeze: The 2 most common symptoms are cough and wheezes. These mean he/she may have reactive airways disease (asthma).

Answer 9

Cough/wheeze: We all have airways that have a protective apparatus that reacts to keep noxious gas or debris from filling the sensitive air blebs in our lung. When this works correctly, as soon as the triggering event is gone, the "gate keeper" opens it and normal breathing ensues. RAD is a condition where the gate tends to remain closed, producing wheezing or cough. Meds work to reduce the keep airways open.

Answer 10

Depends: It may but asthma can reoccur even after being symptom free for along periods of time. Even though you may not need you medicines at present, i would keep your rescue meds available for any unexpected emergency.

Answer 11

Hopefully: Not sure why you were taken off meds if your symptoms seem to persist. However, it is not uncommon for asthmatics to reduce and ultimately be drug free. If you are able to avoid your "triggers" there is a good chance to improve and stay off meds.If your symptoms persist, ask about keeping a rescue inhaler as a precaution. Good Luck
