Yup. Makes an amusing β€˜what caused this’ story in a&e tho. ESP if the memory sets you off too. Then you’re laughing and they’re laughing and then the cycle continues πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

My recommendation is to never try laughing yoga.... I was working with a student social worker and she was being assessed running a group by one of her lecturers. I was meant to be still there as I was a registered member of staff. But my asthma decided to sabotage things from all the laughing.

DamnYouAutocorrect compilations have nearly sent me to A&E before.

Also there's a video with certain misheard lyrics from Carmina Burana and I only have to think of it to snigger then often get set off.

Dammit happening now... one day I will end up explaining that one to A&E and making myself worse

Yes auto correct has lots of ideas about what we write. You read it back. Press send and then see it has changed again! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I need to find that song.....🀭

I know! I was thinking that....I have only sung it once ages ago but not sure I will be able to again now.🀣🀣

Amazingly they got a choir to sing the version with the misheard lyrics and they did it! I don't think I would have been able to without cracking up.

Same, that site should come with a health warning 🀣

Being tickled leads to awful coughing and breathlessness , I seem to avoid it nowadays but it does lead to sex , or did some years ago . Alcohol played a part too .

Edit : the tickling has ceased , alcohol is more sensible , the "other " has not totally ceased by any means : )

Sex can also lead to asthma (or it does for me anyway).

Now I sound like a weird pervy Yoda. 'Tickling is the path to the inhaler side. Tickling leads to sex. Sex leads to asthma. Asthma leads to inhaler use.'

Oh I hope the partner knows it’s an asthma attack and not that a/he is doing a good job...

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ yep he knows! Says it's not as good when I'm breathless so makes me take my inhaler beforehand.

He also says it's a good test of how I'm doing...I said definitely not one I wanted to try with any consultants etc 🀣🀣🀣

Yes definitely, and I love to laugh. I try and do a little internal snigger when my chest is playing up, but sometimes I just can't help myself 🀣

Definitely laughing sets me off into a coughing fit
