This is the curious side effect of pre-natal vitamins.
I am asthmatic, and had phlegm issues on a regular basis. It has been just a part of life. Over the past couple months, the phlegm has almost gone. Coughing spats were few and far between instead of a daily basis. It has been a good few months. My wife and I have been trying to figure out what might have made the difference. Our house is a little cleaner, but it wasn’t that bad beforehand.
While I have been ill the past couple weeks, I stopped most of my medications, including pre-natal vitamins. During this period, I also noticed the phlegm come back. I was trying to think why it was coming back all of a sudden, when it hit me; my pre-natal vitamins. The improvement in my lungs started around the time I started the vitamins, I stopped them and my lungs got worse. This could be a coincidence, but not too sure. Now that I am feeling better, I have started the vitamins again. I guess I will see if there is an improvement again. If this is the case, post pregnancy, I may need to find out what the specifics are that make the difference.
How odd. I wonder if it is the prenatals. It'd be great if it were --such an easy solution to the asthma-related issues!
