> I've been having problems breathing. I think that asthma is involved which is then triggering panic disorder. From what I've been observing, I think that the trigger is dry hot air. I know that sounds strange but that is listed in articles I've read as a possible cause of this problem and it seems to match what I've been experiencing.

> KaraKara, selegiline exacerbates my own asthma, so maybe there's a link to that drug.
There are three supplements that I know can have a direct effect on asthma, and those are magnesium, niacinamide, and NADH.
Low magnesium will make bronchospasm more likely, and persistent. Low magnesium also increases histamine release.
Niacinamide directly antagonizes histamine release from mast cell degranulation, so I think this could also be a symptomatic treatment.
It was pure coincidence, potentially, but during my trial of NADH in '03, I had virtually no symptoms of either inhalant allergies or asthma. That was totally unprecedented in more than thirty years of suffereing therefrom. See: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030802/msgs/247722.html
I hope you feel better soon.
