As for carrying liquids, my father has angina and has a liquid spray which he carries with him at all times and uses when he has an attack. Can he no longer take that on board? Also, a friend of the family has asthma and had her inhaler taken off her when she went on an international flight recently. When she had an asthma attack, they upgraded her to first class. I'm not sure if that's actually a recognised antidote for asthma.
