So, the DR gave me a "breathing treatment"-of asthma medication. Which one to say-I am not sure. I have never been on any asthma meds. The "breathing treatment" made me feel like I was on drugs-very jittery.

So, my questions are the following: How will acute bronchitis affect my pregnancy - being 23 weeks pregnant, Can a whole bunch of coughing hurt my baby??? Being that my lung capacity has been lowered by 25 % should I call my regular OB/GYN and tell them this???? This asthma med has made me feel like I am crack or something. Are there any asthma meds known to hurt an unborn child??? I am also on tylenol 3 for the coughing. I have read here that the tylenol 3 is safe to take-anything extra I should be aware of???

And one last question, theoretically speaking, if I went to the ER complaining of severe coughing this morning, wheezing, etc. and came home with a diagnosis of the common cold and then went back to the same ER - the same day-and found that I have acute bronchitis and my lung capacity has been lowered-isn't it something to be said about the first Dr that I saw??? (The second time I went I was checked by a DR and a respiratory therapsit.)

I hope this email is somewhat readable-I apologize in advance if it is not. But, the asthma stuff they gave me made feel like a monkey on crack.

Thank you for your time. Jenny
