Oouch, When laughing becomes painfull.

Morning all, as most of u know ( cuz u've all been fantastic and messaged me bk when I needed advice or a pick me up ) I'm a alpha 1 Z, I have restricted airways at the top of my lungs and emphasema at the bottom , oh the joys, my kids and my hubby are not only my best friends but my comedians too, who has always made me laugh, but I'm finding laughing painful and gets me out of breath. The tops of my chest pull so tight when I laugh I get SOB and hurt. I'm not gonna stop laughing its free, I don't need a prescription and it helps shift them looming black days, just wandered does anyone else get this. ???Wishing u all well, big hugs if ur not.

I'm fine when I laugh but when I yawn I can feel a tension across my lungs like something pulling tight. When I told my consultant he said 'I'm not surprised with the amount of scaring you have on your lungs'

I mainly suffer with breathlessness and not pain so I'm lucky I guess'

Keep laughing Sonia, its definitely better than being miserable en it'

Hi dall, I agree it is , even with the pain. Keep smiling as they say, enjoy ur day. And I hope u don't yawn to much lol. X Sonia x

Yes Sonia, all of the time. SOB is a bitch and of course it hurts when you are struggling to breathe, especially at my age.

But then I enjoy awakening each morning, reaching over to my wife while at the same time being sadly grateful to having that pain because now we are still able to share a little more time with each other.
