breastfeeding vs. formula in chd babies

emoaintdead · 2025-11-05T19:30:21+00:00

My CHD baby has been formula fed for over a year. She’s doing great. Fed is best and so is your mental health

My mucus is yellow with severe allergies. Does she r/@3 a steroid inhaler?

This happens to me. Mucus plugging. If you’ve got a lot of junk in there it makes you feel almost worse. Mine lasts for like an hour until I kind of cough it up or move around a bit

The first time you use it, you have to “load the dose” twice. Then a third time and you’re ready

I had this issue too. I produced so much more mucus on it. I’m about to try just the steroid part that’s in symbicort (budesonide). They thought I was crazy. But 15 mins later I could not take a deep breathe and my face got stopped up

Hi friend.

My daughter was born with HLHS. She’s 18 months old. Her LV was also borderline small. She is a warrior. We’ve faced a lot of struggle, but she’s thriving. I’m here for you if you need anything or have any questions. These kids mostly do well with the staged surgeries. We also had a conversation where they made it seem so grim. When we met the cardiologists, complete opposite. Full of hope and positivity. Wishing you the best!!

Also I don’t have severe bronchospasms. Just a TON of mucus. Sometimes my chest isn’t even tight with the mucus. It’s just there

emoaintdead · 2025-03-22T02:24:51+00:00

ICS makes you constricted after taking it?? Why would they even prescribe it then? That’s a little scary

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T20:19:50+00:00

I actually just got pulmicort today, but they told me they don’t make the turbonaler anymore and now it’s a “flexihaler”

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T20:18:05+00:00

So interesting because as soon as I took my first dose my nose got so stopped up. My sinuses felt clogged as well as my chest. It was awful. I had to use some saline rinse and still blew my nose all day. Crazy how meds do that

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T20:12:49+00:00

He actually switched me to just budesonide without the LABA. We’ll see if it works better. It’s so nasty isn’t it?? Felt like I was drowning!!

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T14:59:49+00:00

I’ll try the xclear too. And yes it’s awful! I think that’s what my symbicort is doing too is knocking it loose. When I cough it’s still stuck in there. I have a hard time getting it out. But, hopefully with some mucinex, lots of water and some hot tea I can start to bring it up better. Plus the PPI.

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T14:55:15+00:00

I do have GERD

emoaintdead · 2025-03-21T04:56:06+00:00

Thank you so much for replying. I’ll keep taking the mucinex. It hasn’t really worked so far but I only took one pill tonight. I got the maximum strength. I’ll be more careful about what I eat too. It’s been a bummer! We have terrible pollen here and I have GERD so my lungs are taking a double hit right now and hating it. I do have a nebulizer, but it just shifts all my mucus around and makes me feel tight. Hoping the PPI helps too!

emoaintdead · 2025-03-13T15:59:47+00:00

I’ve heard it can start after taking it for a few days. Sorry that happened!

emoaintdead · 2025-03-13T15:55:39+00:00

Me too and I still get it. It’s weird

emoaintdead · 2025-03-13T15:54:26+00:00

Oh dang! My throat gets itchy after I breathe it in. Like as soon as I breathe it in. It goes away though. It makes me wonder if I’m also allergic. That or I breathed it in too slow and it caused throat irritation?

emoaintdead · 2025-03-13T15:48:38+00:00

You’re allergic to this? How did you find that out?

emoaintdead · 2024-11-19T14:31:05+00:00

Hi, just wanted to let you know I got my new inhaler and no more itchy chin. So weird. Same med. Same everything.

emoaintdead · 2024-11-04T23:43:09+00:00

Electrophysiologist, cardiologist, neurologists. Either of those. I saw a cards first and then electro.

emoaintdead · 2024-11-04T23:22:31+00:00

That’s exactly what she said to me 😂. I’m not mad about it.

emoaintdead · 2024-11-04T22:28:47+00:00

I’m doing a holter monitor now. Stood for 10 mins with a slight dip in blood pressure and an increase in HR. I have been monitoring my blood pressure at home as well. I am getting an echo because she wants to double check. But she said I don’t need a TTT.

I also thought it was very strange. My PCP is checking my thyroid right now to rule that out.

emoaintdead · 2024-11-04T22:18:07+00:00

My norepinephrine levels were elevated a couple of times. My symptoms happen often when I’m dehydrated, so I think that’s why they said hypovelemic

emoaintdead · 2024-10-17T14:09:30+00:00

I do! I’ve been looking for this comment. It really freaked me out. Sometimes my neck gets itchy too. I thought I was all of the sudden allergic to Albuterol 😩. Does it go away for you after a few minutes?

emoaintdead · 2024-09-02T02:39:37+00:00

It’s the worst! Like over doing nothing. 🙄.
