Morning everyone.....well if u r reading this at least you are alive lol....gorra laugh or we'd be bloody fed up everyday.
So here's my question for today, since I was diagnosed with COPD why when something causes adrenaline can I not breathe properly....it's like adrenaline now has the opposite effect to what it had before...im confused ???
Because adreline causes a rapid heartbeat and requires more oxygen? x

Thanks Huff.....I'll read it 2nite when I can sit and take it in....ave a nice afternoon 😊
Because adrenalin increases the rate of respiration so you can run away from the bull. If you have a lung condition and are a bit breathless anyway, you'll feel you can't breath properly - i.e. you're breathing too rapidly. I think. x
I find this business of adrenaline fascinating. For me adrenaline works to ease and slow my breathing. When I am stressed my breathing improves: it has always been thus. In the days when I had asthma, throughout the fifty seven years before I had the PEs, I could use this effect to get me through tricky situations: exams, interviews, etc. And it is the same now. This has the irritating effect that when I see doctors I am never very breathless. And so they do not appreciate how severe my symptoms are. What I do feel in those situations is that I am massively alert, keyed up, at maximum concentration. Able to present myself and my case with clarity and reason and relatively quick thinking, in theatrical terms it is what actors call Doctor Footlights. Which is how actors have been known to go onstage with raging fevers, it is probably the same thing that gets cyclist to the finishing line with broken bones. What the doctors/audience/spectators do not see, is the patient/actor/cyclist two hours later, when the adrenaline has worn off.
An interesting theme. I think for a lot of people stress does make their breathing and heart rate worse.
All the best
