Hemoptysis

[vferris]

I am so tierd of being sick. The doctors just keep putting me off and treating my symptoms. I was diagnosed with asthma @27 while I was pregnant with my son. (never had any problems before)

With in two weeks had major hemopstyis and was in the hosptial for about ten days. Diagnosed with pneumonia although it took a cat scan to show it. The chest x-ray came out normal.

Since then I have had all your typical asthma problems...wheezing, bronchitis or pnuemonia 1-2 per year. Then always treated with antibiotics and predinisone. Oh and breathing treatments.
I have been on advair the whole time along with albuterol.

I had a really bad attack at work a few months ago and had to take a ride in the ambulance. Mild hemopstysis but very short of breath. My whole body started to tingle and I was getting clamy and feeling faint. The Dr kept me out of work for three weeks because I was only blowing 1.5 to 2 liters on the peak flow test. (I still can't get past 3) The dr says I should be at 6.

Anyhow just got back from vacation and was unpacking and had another attack with about one tablespoon of bright red blood.

Anybody else have this ???? Any insight?
I am 31, do not smoke, never had allergies to my knowledge. Never had allergy tests the dr said she didn't think I needed it.
I do have pets and I groom dogs and cats for work. The asthma started about 1 year after I started pet grooming. Seems like a no brainer, right? Problem I don't seem to be bothered by my pets at home.
