Hi Meg

Don't feel foolish you have done very well , in fact you have done better than I could have done !

I know you suffer with Asthma which makes your breathing tight but so does anxiety & sometimes rather than it been your Asthma I think this feeling you cant get your breath is you have a little panic attack

If your peak flow reading is fine is that not an indication that your Asthma is ok & it is possibly panic ?

I am not a doctor & of course your GP will have given you all the information you need & when to take your inhalers it was just a thought

You will still feel shaky as you have just faced a fear & the adrenalin that will have been used to to deal with this now needs to settle down so be kind to yourself this afternoon & rest

I am pleased though you have a nice dentist that understands as it does help & maybe next time when you have to go you wont feel as anxious

Love

Im ok on that now bev,she is lovely and explained my fears to her,she was able to do my filling without an injection o so that was good,it didn't help being anxious before I left though,hoping my go can sort out my a/d today ,later!still can't et a deep breath though xxx

Well you did well having a filling with no injection , I have to have several !!!

Try not to focus to much how you are breathing or it can make it worse but just slowly take a deep breath in as far as you can manage count to 5 if you can & slowly let it back out

Your breathing will come back to normal

Hope you get your a/d sorted later

Hi

I said it could have been more panic you were feeling rather than your Asthma I suppose it can be a thin line judging which it is but I hope that it has helped seeing your GP & reassured you

Hope the new meds suite you better

I know Meg it does feel real but try & remember the doctors words if you feel it again as it is true it wont harm you

I will keep my fingers crossed for you

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Not as well as yest though bev xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well yesterday you had a check up today you had to have treatment which always makes us feel more anxious & Meg you had a filling without been numbed , I think you did excellent , I have not come across many people that can tolerate a filling without been numbed

Don't judge yesterday on today , circumstances were different but for what you had to deal with today I think you did just as well
