Will Ativan Help Slurred Speech And Mood Swings Caused After Asthma Attack?

my daughter age 44 was having a asthma attack friday took her to er. she started slurring her words and studdering, started shaking and getting stiff almost like a seizer. They said she had bronchidis and sent her home.She also would have outbursts of crying for no reason. The continued - took her to another er sunday morning. they gave her 2 breathing treatments and some ativan through an iv and sent her home. She talks real slow but knows what is going on.She says something is wrong in her head. They did a cat scan of her chest and head but said nothing was wrong. Her blood work didn t show anything wrong. All these symptoms still exist and she has never had these prior to Friday.

Ativan is contraindicated in cases of Bronchial asthma patients. She has not had seizer, it is usual to have slurred words, studdering after asthma attack. nothing to worry, antiasthamtics as prescribed by the physician should help her.
