Stupid weather...

[ElizabethC]

...wish it make up its mind and let spring and warmer temperatures appear.

I was *just* starting to get closer to normal than I have been since January when I had a viral infection (and A&E visit) and the past 2 days...tight chest, throat is supersensitive again so is threatening to choke and cough at anything and nothing. (Seriously...I can simply move my head down or to the side and bam! Choking and coughing and spluttering).

Tried to get an apt with my NP but she isn't on duty and they didn't know when she would be as they didn't have next week's rota. (Really!! Why leave it that late?).

And with my throat being so annoying, my voice is vanishing again. The idea of singing is a long way away. My speaking voice is non existent.

Sorry for the grouchiness. Just feeling as though I've taken 10 steps back in recovery.

So sorry that you are feeling poorly.

I hope things improve for you soon.

Hi. Sorry you're not feeling well. What preventer inhaler are you using and what's your routine? I learned here( not told by asthma nurse or Gp) that it's better to use a spacer with my Fostair inhaler followed immediately by rinsing mouth, gargling and cleaning teeth. I was having those symptoms even though my lungs were obviously better. This regime has certainly put and end to those symptoms . Might be worth a try if you haven't already? Good luck x

I use symbicort as my preventer. Can't use a spacer for that.

Reliever is ventolin which I do use through a spacer. Prob with my voice is due to the viral infection. Last attack I had in 2015, I got severe laryngitis. I think it may have done damage or left my throat super sensitive.

Was up all night,- choking coughing etc, get comfortable in bed then bam! Feel so tired, chest tight, eyes heavy. Yes, roll on spring and the warmer weather, though already started antihistamines.
