Hello. I seem to be going through a tough time with my health. This year has been a horrible one for me, so I'll spare everyone the details. Anyway, I have a history of massive hemoptysis. This year it has been worse than ever for me as complications landed me in the ICU and on a ventilator. That was in April and ever since then I've had trouble breathing. In the past when I'd have trouble, I would take an Ibuprofen or some turmeric and I'd be just fine again. My breathing problems have always been due to inflammation.
After my situation in April I have noticed that I do not tolerate anti-inflammatory drugs or foods as well because they set off my hemoptysis pretty easily. Same goes for when I use pulmozyme. After 3 or 4 doses I cough up blood. My doctors have never told me what I should avoid to prevent my bouts of hemoptysis. I was trying to research if using Singulair would be safe for me, but I have had little luck.
Please, does anyone know if it would be ok for me to take singulair? If not, is there any other way to treat inflammation without setting off my hemoptysis? I'm so tired of trying to breathe, it hurts.
