Anyone else truggled to breath after eating dinner like your about to go into an asthma attack. Stupid asthma life.

I think I know what you mean...it doesn't happen to me routinely as such, but if either a) I have a big meal, or b) I eat when I'm a bit wheezy, I can get very short of breath.

Yeah I think it was down to eating a big meal I don't eat much at all so eating loads when not used to it probably was down to that too. And it's horrible isn't it I was sat there trying to grab a breath 😂

Yes I can get that. Also when I eat something very cold. Not a nice feeling at all.

[Cleethorpesdione2015 in reply to EllaRoulette]

[EllaRoulette in reply to Cleethorpesdione2015]

Hi I have had this too. I was told it's because when the stomach is very full it can push against the lungs a bit which causes the breathlessness. I try to avoid big meals now and find it better to eat more smaller ones. x

You're not the only one I'd take about two or three bites , and I Begin to feel tight in the throat , by then I've lost the interest of eating which really cuts Into to my diet. I'm left hungry because I can't even get a full meal down. Without a asthmatic showdown. It's very rare that I get to finish or dare I say enjoy a meal with no asthma interference.

Oh dear that don't sound very good at all I hate how asthma can really have such impact on peoples life's it sucks so bad it really does and you not been able to have a full meal down that just not good I feel for you

That is now happening to me. I have learned to eat smaller portions. When I eat a big meal I am so uncomfortable with a tight chest that it is not worth it. I have heard that when you eat your blood rushes to you stomache to digest the food. If oxygen lower, will decrease more.
