Could This Be Asthma Related Or Something Else? Posted: 04-15-07 14:14pm
for the past 4 days ive been having some
difficulty breathing i feel like i cant
catch my breath at times or i take shallow
breaths or very deep breaths very little
tightness more of the feeling that i just
cant catch my breath..no wheezing
involved..ive been checking my peak flow
and its between 450-500 which when i was
in the er and got 450 dr said it was
normal thats hasnt changed its been
consitantly 450-500 before this started i
had either a severe allergy attack or a
cold i had stuffy nose runny nose sneezing
headache ear pressure then after all that
stoped thats when this started now i have
the breathing problems headache with a
lightheadness and ear pressure at times
for 2 nights i tried my rescue inhaler and
that didnt seem to make a difference and i
just tried it again when i got woke up and
didnt make a huge difference i dont feel
it all the time but its here a good
majority of the day after i took the
inhaler i checked my peak flow it was
still the same value.
i dunno if this could be asthma related
considering its been 4 days no wheezing
and my peak flow is normal and consisitant
or if it has to do with the allergy attack
or cold i had or if its constant
anxiety..i cant go to the dr cause im
under no insurance yet and ive been to the
er twice in the past 2 months for a
similar feeling and they found nothing
wrong so what do you guys think it can be
and what do reccomend i can do
