HEART/ASTHMA Problem
Hi
My mother is asthmatic and has been suffering with this illness associated with heart/asthma from August 05. Im not too sure what it is but shes hearing a noise close to her heart and she could hardly breathe. She vomits every now and then. And now she is very weak. One day she gets better the next day she cant get out off bed its on and off. She went to several private doctors and to our local clinic as well but nothing seem to be working for her. And she lost hope now she tells us shes just waiting for her death anytime now. She even stopped taking her medication cause its not helping her. One doctor will say her heart is weak and one will say its athsma.
I dont know whether am i making sence to you i just dont know how to explain the whole situation and i am very scared.
Please advise I just want any good medication that can get over the counter, as I have spent lot of money to doctors.

Dear Bongie,
She may have heart failure - that can give you heart symptoms as well as shortness of breath. She must please keep on taking her meds, as she will really die if she doesn't. You can't give her over the counter medication - do you have a physician in your area to look at her?
