OKAY WHERE DO I BEGIN?!! IVE BEEN ON EDGE SUFFERING WITH NO SLEEP AND IN THE ER EVERYDAY FOR A MONTH!!!
I AM ONLY 19 YEARS OLD! AND WAS TOTALLY NORMAL UP UNTILL 3 WEEKS AGO.I GO HOUR BY HOUR FEELING DIFFERENT EVER HOUR. I EVEN HAD TO STAY AT MY MOMS HOUSE AND KEPT SWITCHING FROM MY HOUSE TO MY BROTHER HOUSE JUST TO FEEL A SENSE OF RELEIF. IM AFRAID OF SMELLS AND DUST AND GOING OUT SIDE. I FEEL LIKE NO WHERE IS SAFE AND THAT IM GONNA GET AN ASTHMA ATTACK. BUT EVERY TIME I CALL 911 THEY SAID MY O2 LEVELS WERE 100% AND MY HEART RACE WAS FAST BECAUSE OF PANIC. AND I NEVER WHEEZE. NOT ALL ASTHMATICS ARE WHEEZERS THO. BUT WHEN I GET THESE ATTACKS I REALLY FEEL LIKE BREATHS ARE NOT GOING IN AND I GET REALLY DIIZY AND FALL DOWN.
DOCTORS ARE A NIGHTMARE! EVERYTIME I GO TO THE ER THEY TELL ME MY VITALS ARE PERFECT BUT THEY GIVE ME STERIODS IN MY IV AND NUEBLIZER TREATMEANTS ANYWAY. I WAS DOING SO MANY INHALERS AND TREATMENTS EVERYDAY THAT I THINK IT MADE ME SICKER MY CHEST FELT LIKE AN ELEPHANT WAS SITTING ON IT. BUT I WEENED MYSELF OFF SO MANY MEDICATIONS AND FELT WAY BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST. I EVEN WENT TO A POLMONOLOGIST AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!!! THE NURSE CAME IN THE ROOM WITH STRONG PERFUME AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN EPISODE THE DOCTOR CAME IN FOR 3 MINUTES AND RIGHT AWAY STARTING WRITING 15 DIFFERENT PERSCRIBTIONS FOR MORE MEDS!!! I ALREADY GOT ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO 2 INHALERS THEY GAVE ME... ADVENT AND AZMACORT. THAT PUT ME BACK IN THE HOSPITAL.IM SCARED TO TAKE THE MEDS BUT SUPPOSBLY I NEED THEM.
JUST TODAY I WOKE UP FROM MY MOMS COUCH ( THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I FEEL SAFE IS IF I STAY ON HER COUCH) AND I FELT SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST WENT OUTSIDE DID MY ALBUTEROL INHALER I WAS 2 SECONDS AWAY FROM CALLING 911 (AGAIN) AND SAID SCREW IT IF I DIE I DIE! BUT THEN 1 MINUTE LATER I FELT TOATLLY NORMAL AGAIN.WHEN I CALMED DOWN. I WANT YOUR ADVICE IS IT ASTHMA OR ANXIETY?
