The dose of theophylline in coffee is NOT equal to a dose of Albuterol from an inhaler!

I was in a camp ...I have asthma since my childhood. I was in a camp meeting during our college days. The place we were sleeping was up in the mountain and it was very cold. I was not carrying any asthma medicine and was not using any asthma medicine during that time but I was already used to my chest tightening up sometime at night. It was a very cold night. Suddenly while I was sleeping I started to feel a mild asthma attack or my chest was tightening up and I could hardly sleep. We were just visitors in the house and I saw a kettle in the kitchen and boiled immediately some water n prepared some coffee and drank it. Suddenly, I felt I could breath better. From that time on I realized for me , coffee could give some relief for my asthma and still drinking it today sometimes for some relief.I still use my prescribed medicines if needed. Coffee has some chemical related to theophylline which is a drug for asthma. By God s grace and lots of prayer, I m still coping today and still learning about herbs and other things about health improvement. We should remember that while coffee gives some relief.it is a strong stimulant and we should be careful about consuming it.

That is a myth.

Their was a coffee drive up a few blocks away so I I started going there and getting a coffee each morning s9 I could say good morning to someone. When I started drinking coffee I q<br />Quickly noticed a difference in my asthma. My symptoms decreased. I thought it was weird but it seemed the coffee was helping. On my next doctor visit I mentioned it to her and she explained it made sense because coffee has a btonchio dialater in it. I would never replace my inhaler but a cup of coffee each day has reduced my need to use an inhaler. I used it daily and now I rarely use itArctic teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886768532704601883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856422208388515286.post-38119706095130750762018-12-23T03:23:24.665-08:002018-12-23T03:23:24.665-08:00I was never a coffee drinker but started going thr...I was never a coffee drinker but started going through the drive up on my way to work after a move. I didn't know anybody in the area and was living alone and enjoyed talking to someone in the morning even if it was just to order coffee. So I started getting a cup of coffee each morning. I have asthma and noticed that the coffee seemed to be making it better. Next time I was at the doctor I said this may sound weird but I started drinking coffee and it seems to make my asthma better , does that make sense. He then explained that coffee has a bronchodialater in it ...do I saw improvement from drinking coffee.

No such luck for us, my asthma is lifelong since I have allergies too. <br /><br />Many doctors don't recommend coffee (or even caffeine soft drinks) if their patients have heart conditions. <br /><br />Sounds like your son is doing well! I'm glad he doesn't have to deal with asthma for the rest of his life! :)<br /> My Life as an Asthma Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688597288989352329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856422208388515286.post-43994997764673438372013-01-07T04:37:51.707-08:002013-01-07T04:37:51.707-08:00Actually, started giving my son coffee for his 6 m...Actually, started giving my son coffee for his 6 months after he was diagnosed and was continuing to have issues and he quit having problems altogether. It was a hail Mary play as didn't have the funds right then for all his meds. That was 10 years ago and he hasn't had a problem since. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
