Patients with Asthma and COPD going for Hajj

Every year tens of thousands of Muslims perform the holy pilgrimage, HAJJ. This spiritual experience requires a certain amount of physical fitness and those with existing chronic diseases may face extra burden. It is very important thus for those who are on regular treatment to consult their health advisors about continuing their medicine or for any modification if required. For those who use inhalers e.g. patients with Asthma or COPD should not miss out their inhalers while packing for this important journey and might need to carry some as required inhalers for performing all spiritual rituals smoothly.

Chronic cough evaluation and treatment

Chronic cough is not only a bothersome symptom but a social stigma as well. If one is otherwise healthy and non smoker, it is most commonly secondary to one of the three following conditions namely,

1. Asthma (Cough variant Asthma)
2. GERD
3. Upper airway cough syndrome.

Diagnosis may be clinched with proper history taking and doing few tests usually performed under supervision of a Pulmonologist (Chest Physician). After making the diagnosis effective treatment may be offered.

Are inhalers addictive ?

It is a common misconception that inhalers given for the treatment of Respiratory (Chest) diseases cause addiction and thus should be avoided.
In fact, they have been designed to avoid side effects which might result if same medications are given orally or through veins and thus have revolutionized treatment of these diseases.
If some one requires these inhalers for longer period of times, it is because of the nature and requirement of the medical condition and not because of addiction to inhalers.
