There is nothing like illness that gives you the sharpest of reality checks. Today, I had a really difficult time breathing. I didn't think my asthma so severe since the last time I had an attack was about a year ago. Last week, I had the flu- coughing, runny/ stuffy nose, three days of fever, congestion and wheezing. Well, here I am 10 days later and I still have some chills, aches but the wheezing is worse than ever. I go to the urgicenter and then a whirlwind of activity commence when the doctor reads my SpO2 levels (94% oxygen) and hears the struggle for air in my lungs accompanied by the loud whistling when exhaling. Four nebulizer treatments later with a strong dose of prednisone and chest x-rays, it is determined that it's not pneumonia. Whew! Dodge that bullet. However, I'm still wheezing just not as bad. I got to go home and relax. But let me tell you, if it gets worse, I'm going to the hospital and skipping the urgicenter altogether. I am quite frankly scared about lungs for the first time in 5 years.

DeleteO2 saturation reading of 94% is acceptable --for me anyway. When I use techniques for calming panic attacks, it returns to the high 90s. Shaharizan, I worked around friable asbestos for years, and I smoked, and, yes, I have been diagnosed with asthma and copd. I keep a reserve course of antibiotics and prednisone in our medicine cabinet --not used yet. Haven't had to call for an O2 concentrator this winter. Progress. What I mainly had to learn was the difference between respiratory distress and panic-attacks. Found a good hypnotherapist. This has been my easiest winter in several years. Best of luck to you in solving your own respiratory mystery.

DeleteShaharizan, you ok? Please be.

ReplyDeleteBe very aware when you hire a locksmith play bazaar. There are a surprising amount of scams out there. Remember, you are giving a person access to your home with this visit, so you want to make sure the person you put faith in is trustworthy. Look to your friends and see who they use.sata king
