Before an asthma attack.

Is it unusual to feel depressed or flat before an asthma attack. I have a tendancy to feel very flat before I have an attack. Is this a link. You might think it is useful to predict when i am going to have one but it is pretty hard with all the other hormones flying about my body as well? Do any of you experience this. What do you feel like before an attack?

when my asthma flares up I get really tearful and I also get an itchy thoat, just before I get an infection I also get a strange taste in my mouth but it is really sweet and sickly!

I get really irritable. There's a lot of groaning and grunting going on, mostly because it's an effective way to force air out of my lungs, I think. I get all fidgety and can't sit still. I think it's very possible that there's a link there, and everyone's asthma certainly is different

before an attack

I get and itchy chin and my chin comes out in heat spots when my asthma is bothering me. I know I'm getting a chest infection when I get pain between my shoulder blades.

if its been building up from irritants or infection, i tend to sleep more and eat extreemely little. This past week ive been living on a sandwich and some mushrooms at college. Splatted spectactularly this morning (people threatening to call 999 cos i kept passing out in the student lounge, kept refusing and persevering with my spacer, felt better by 12 ish), now thats happened i feel a lot more human, just waiting for my apetite to return!

How about after? does anyone ache like crazy for days?

I have experienced sometimes at night, before bed (before an attack) what i can only describe as an onslaught of depression. It was a while before I figured it was brought on by my chest tightening. As soon as I've used the ventolin it just supsides completely, so at least I know it's a symptom of a bad attack, rather than something else.
