I am the drum major at my high school.
And today, when we were taking the band
around the field…
my throat became dry. I had a metallic
taste in my mouth. I could not breathe.
It felt as though a belt had been tied
around my chest and neck. I had to
suppress coughing…which lead to
wheezing. I became extremely dizzy and
almost passed out. I could not
concentrate on anything – except that I
could not breathe. And we were only
outside for about a half hour!
Right now, I am just really tired.
It was cold…and I do have
allergies…and similar attacks have
happened before…
what do you think? Should I get tested?

Asthma? Posted: 01-12-06 20:19pm
Well I could not tell you if you have
asthma or not since I am a nurse and not a
doctor. But I will advise you to see
your doctor. Just so you know, and
he/she is aware.
I know it is awful running to the doctor
all the time but that is what they are
trained for. Maybe it is something minor
that can be fixed.
I do not know what would cause the metalic
taste... I mean they say if you have a
metalic taste it could be a few things
which I do not think is your case. But I
would still go check it out.
Will not hurt to ask.
Please let me know how you make out, I am
curious as well.
Take care of yourself.
