What are the symptoms?

Question 1
What are the symptoms?...  ok I was wondering what are the symptoms of Pnemonia or Bronchitis? Because I have been feeling like I can not get enough air every now and then and everytime I think about it, it gets worse. I know it is most likely just my anxiety but im just scared to just think that just incase thats not the case. So if I had either Pnemonia or Bronchitis I would notice a BIG chance right? for example: Fevers, bad cough, ect. I wouldn't just have a tight chest now and then ?

thanks

Answers
1)   You should go to the doctors if you think you have a problem with breathing.

2)   you haven't got pneumonia,it is a panic attack - dumplingmuffin

3)   You would definately notice other symptoms like a bad cough and spitting up mucus. Sounds like what you have is either anxiety or mild astma ( I used to have athsma). When I would start getting short of breath, I found that if I stressed about it, it immediately started getting worse. Go to the doctor and they can give you a very simple test, and you can find out. If it is just anxiety, what you need to do ( in either case, really ) is take deep breaths and close your eyes for a minute or so, and just try to clear your mind of stressful thoughts. See if it makes a difference. - seejanerun

4)   Difficulty in breathing and feeling of not getting enough air, sometimes may be a mild form of asthma. But you don't have this and definitely not bronchitis or pneumonia.

Question 4
Addisons disease. A relation of mine has this disease and is on steroids for life.?...  Does anyone know of anyone who has recovered from this illness and, if so, how? Alternative medicine any good?

Answers
1)   I have never known anyone who was cured of Addison's disease. I have, however, known several patients who were able to lead normal lives because they followed the treatment plan with their doctors and knew enough about the disease to detect any problems with their bodies. In fact, it's been my experience as an ICU nurse that people with Addison's disease are generally able to live just as well as anyone else.

It's no piece of cake and of course, nobody would want to have this disease, but as far as serious illnesses go it's not as awful as most. When my mother became terminally ill, we actually hoped she had Addison's because Addison's is very treatable (though not curable.) It turned out that she had something much worse, and she died from it.

Alternative medicine has no positive effect whatsoever on Addison's except possibly for the placebo effect. Also, alternative medicine (such as taking excessive vitamins or herbs, etc.) can interact with the prescribed medications to cause severe and even life-threatening complications. This is true with any disease. Your doctor should always know what you are taking because "natural" therapies can really screw things up for you. In the case of Addison's, the best bet is to use the medications prescribed by your doctor because the disease can be kept under control that way. - HollyHobby

2)   Primary adrenal hypofunction due to damage to adrenal glands is often irreversible and treat ment needs to be continued for life.
As it is risky to stop treatment, I won't suggest trying alternative medicine.

3)   Addison's Disease is fairly rare. The treatment for Addison's disease involves replacing missing cortisol, sometimes in the form of hydrocortisone tablets, or prednisone tablets in a dosing regimen that mimics the physiological concentrations of cortisol. Alternatively one quarter as much prednisolone may be used for equal glucocorticoid effect as hydrocortisone. Treatment must usually be continued for life. In addition, many patients require fludrocortisone as replacement for the missing aldosterone. Caution must be exercised when the person with Addison's disease becomes unwell with infection, has surgery or other trauma, or becomes pregnant. In such instances, their replacement glucocorticoids, whether in the form of hydrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone, or other equivalent, often need to be increased.

So, unfortunately, the answer to your question is yes...steroids for life. However, with the proper medication and maintenance, a person with Addison's Disease can live a normal life span. - Marco's girl
