High Risk Athma

 

I had my first major asthma attack yesterday that landed me in the ER.  I was very lucky to have such a nice nurse at my pulmonologist's office.  I spoke to her in the morning and told her the problems I was having.  When she called me back (as I was driving to a cardiologist appt no less!) I was having a lot of trouble breathing.  She told me to turn my car around and go the the ER immediatly!  She called the hospital ahead of time to let them know I was coming.  I had three breathing treatments and was given prednisone.  After it was all over, I could finally breath!  Yay!  I hadn't realized how bad I had gotten.  I've never been that bad before.  All the albuterol and prednisone made me feel like I wanted to jump out of my skin.  yuck! 

 

I called the nurse back to let her know how I was feeling and to thank her.  I've got an appt to see my pulmonologist on Monday now to talk about what happened.
