I might have asthma

[Kickstartart21]

it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve been battling with a cough for 2 weeks now. When I went to the walk in clinic, the doctor claims I might have asthma. . I was hoping it was bronchitis and it’ll pass. It scared me cause my mom has asthma and I wasn’t ready to hear that I inherited it.

Now I’m sitting outside cuz my family isn’t home and I do that so in case I pass out or die, at least someone will pass by and see me. The asthma terrified me as I got anxiety as soon as I started to wheeze a lil when I exhale. My anxiety is a bitch. First, I was scared of my heart and now im scared of my lungs. I don’t know how to get through this.

On Monday, im going to the hospital to confirm my asthma. Health is a scary thing for me cuz I always think that im going to go to heaven. I know no one is ever ready to die, but im not especially. I haven’t lived. I’ve never been in love, had kids, or traveled the world. If the pain isn’t in my body, then it’s in my head. I just want the anxiety to go away

You can have athma and live a very long and healthy life. You might want to join "fighting for breath" on here. (I didn't name it).

You are very young and have plenty of time for all the things you want to do.

If you need advice with asthma then please ask. Take care

if you can afford it go to your nearest pharmacy and buy a pulseoximter....it will tell you how much oxygen is in your bloodstream. Now also would be the time to practice measured breathing....it will help you calm your breathing down in moments of panic or anxiety...

i have asthma. Have had it since childhood, I’m now 65. It’s manageable, so calm down, you will be fine. Did the hospital give you an inhaler? If they did, the sooner you use it when an attack occurs the better. Anxiety can trigger an attack and an attack can trigger an anxiety, so you need to be mindful.
