WELTANSHAUUNG

A combination of the German words Welt meaning "world" and anschauen meaning "to view." One's weltanschauung is one's fundamental beliefs about the world and life. It is one of the ideal wishes of mankind. When one believes in such a thing, one feels secure in life, one knows what one ought to strive after, and how one ought to organise one’s emotions and interests to the best purpose..

Cinnamon streusel latte



I was feeling really bad today. I had to cheer myself up. I went to
Starbucks
and treated myself to a grande Cinnamon Streusel Latte and a cinnamon swirl while reading Cosmo. After finishing my cup, I remembered I was to take my meds....
Salbutamol 2mg/tab, 1 tab TID

  • A short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for the relief of
    bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma and COPD.
  • Common adverse effects include: tremor, palpitations and headache.
  • Infrequent adverse effects include: tachycardia, muscle cramps, agitation,hypokalemia, hyperactivity in children, and insomnia)

I suddenly had palpitations, tremors and generalized headache. But it actually provided relief of my cough. Do I have asthma? I remember our pedia resident at the OPD when she prescribed Salbutamol to a patient. There conversation was:

Mother: " D po ba pang-asthma lang ang Salbutamol?
Doctor: "Hindi lang naman po pang-asthma yan. Kahit po sa ubo pwede yan. Lalo na po at namamaga ang daanan ng hangin ng bata.

I don't know if I have asthma. Salbutamol has surely helped me with my cough. Somehow, I have less coughing now. Magpa-peakflow kaya ako?
