I have asthma I was taken to the hospital 2 nights ago and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. They gave me steroid pills and antibiotics and breathing treatment while there they gave me 3 breathing treatments which they said didn t help and then they gave me 3 steroid pills and a steroid breathing treatment I was told that it didn t sound any better well I am home and doing as I was told but I am not feeling like I am getting any better in fact I can feel my heart racing and chest is really tight. I have high blood pressure. Should I return right away or give it a few more days and see what happens. Very confused can t afford a waisted ER visit.
The antibiotics are not needed in asthma steroids increases blood pressure if you are taking BP control medicine the salt of that medicine increases asthma so have to correlate according to history you can have antiallergic like montelukast 10 mg bronchodilator syrups and antacid gel Tuscan have antiallergic and bronchodilator inhalers soscontol BP with medicine salt that do not increase allergies
