Have you ever had a cough or known someone with a persistent cough that didn’t actually have a cold? More people are suffering from moderate to severe coughs that aren’t cured by over-the-counter cough medicine or prescription cough medicine.

Just this weekend I rushed my mother to the emergency room for chest pains. Her pulse rate was high and she had an overall ill feeling. To be on the safe side, the doctors did treat her as a cardiac patient but after serveral questions and tests, the doctors concluded it was most likely some type of inflammation. It was bronchitis. Specifically, bronchitis caused by severe allergies.

What is Bronchitis

Bronchitis occurs when there is inflammation of the mucus membranes of the bronchi. This is the airway that carries airflow to the lungs. When the bronchi is irritated it swells which causes an increase in mucus, additional resources. An increase in mucus will began to block the airflow in and out of the lungs.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of bronchitis is a cough lasting more than a few weeks, chest pains, a productive cough (mucus), fatigue, fever and/or chills.

Brochitis Caused by Allergies

My mother does not smoke. Although it’s said that smoking is the leading cause of bronchitis, allergy and sinus sufferers come close to the main cause. It all starts off as an itchy throat. You’re constantly clearing your throat or coughing to get some type of relief. Some have a drip like feeling in the back of their throat. Have you ever had a day when you started to say something and each time you had to clear the mucus out of your throat? If you don’t clear up your allergy and sinus problems it could turn into an infection which could also lead to bronchitis. In my mother’s case, she had a cough for three months. It all started off with the drip like feeling in the back of her throat. She was constantly coughing up mucus. It eventually turned into a cough that just would not go away. She was taking prescribed cough medicine for three months. About a week ago she began to stay in bed. Fatigue was taking over. Then one day she woke up with chest pains and began to feel worse through out the day. By the time we made it to the emergency room her blood pressure was high, her pulse rate was high, and she was dehydrated. After giving her some fluids and a breathing treatment, she began to feel better. The doctor prescribed some antibiotics to treat the inflammation.

Untreated bronchitis could lead to pneumonia. Do not take your cough lightly even if you know it’s caused by sinus or allergies.If over-the-counter and prescribed cough medications does not clear up your cough, then you should ask your doctor if it could be bronchitis.

There are so many apps out there for your smart phone that allow you to track your appointments, keep track of your finances, and even keep up with friends. I love all of these features, but wondered if I could use my phone to lose weight. I decided to try out a bunch of free apps and found success by using three different types of apps, check out here.

Fitness apps

I enjoy running so I searched for an app that would map out runs for me and keep track of my distance. My favorite is “mapmyrun.” You can go online and map out your run which will then transfer to your phone. It will show your elevation gains and total calories burned also. You can also use the app for hiking, biking, walking, or any other exercise. You can create goals for yourself and even compete with your friends. If you want something more along the lines of a gym workout, there are also apps to show you good moves to tone up. I use “daily ab workout” to get my core in shape, but there are also apps for all other parts of the body including total body workouts. There are even personal trainer apps to give you routines to use. This has kept me motivated and prevented boredom.

Calorie counter apps

In order to lose weight, you need to know how many calories you can have in a day and keep track of them. You usually carry your smart phone with you everywhere you go so it is the perfect way to help you keep track of calories. There are many apps that have a calorie counter that shows what your daily intake should be such as “Calorie counter.” You then enter in foods every time you eat and it will deduct those calories from your total. They even have fast food restaurants listed if you are eating out. Some apps like “Mapmyfitness” even add more calories in if you exercise so you can eat more. The trick is to make sure you are burning more calories than you are taking in, so you don’t want to reach your total calories for the day.

Apps for recipes and local healthy restaurants

There are a ton of apps for all smart phones out there to help you find healthy recipes to cook at home or places to eat and stay within your budgeted calories. “Recipe search” is a great app that has thousands of different recipes that are quick and healthy. If you don’t like to cook or feel like you don’t have time, there are apps for restaurants also. I use “Foodspotting” or “Locavore” to find local healthy restaurants that I haven’t tried. They give you reviews and show you what type of food they serve.

I have lost 6 pounds in the last month and increased my running by 3 miles. I feel healthier and more motivated to lose more. These apps are easy to use and really help you see what you need to do to get in shape.
