Hello,
I have had asthma for all my life and i
have been diagnosed with VCD.
VCD feels like ping pong ball is in your
air way and your struggling to breath.
Asthma feels like your chest is being
stepped on and you suffocating.
If it is TRULY ASTHMA, YOUR O'2'S STATS
WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL,
NORMAL BEING 96% TO 100%
iF YOU ARE HAVING AN ATTACK OF VCD, YOUR
O2 STATS ARE NORMAL AND USUALLY IN HALING
OXYGEN @ THE ER will STOP the attack of
VCD. It takes time to learn the
difference. You could be allergic to
something close to your home or where ever
you have the worst attacks.
Doctors can treat you as an asthmatic, but
if it doesn't stop the breathing problems,
it is not asthma! Don't take steriods
un-less given by a SPECIALIST, not just a
family doctor.. Trust me, taking steriods
while not under the care of a specialist
can wreck your body for the rest of your
life.
Bee smart! Seek out appropriate specialist
and keep a medical diary of everything
that happens to you, what you eat, do
physically, work and all medications. You
need to be proactive with your health .
All the best ww
