asthma

just a quick question anyone else gasp for air all day like air hunger feel as they can't breath all the time evan after taking medication for asthma???

[Turfcare]

Feel the same way. Some days are worse than others, some nights are just the same as the days. Mine is coupled with coughing and bringing up phlem, loads of it, and burping. Goes on for ages that I just can't get a breath and now drastically reducing my mobility.

It's horrible do you sleep okay? Do you get rib and chest pain struggle to breath in

[NLGA in reply to Hidden]

no real pain but it’s like say my lungs need 100 per cent oxygen amd only 20 per cent goes on and is used up instantly so I’m always looking to get air in the lungs

[Hidden in reply to NLGA]

Do you gasp when you Eat

[NLGA in reply to Hidden]

no but at times I feel breathless amd hate it when someone talks to me while I eat as it can make me breathless

[Cloudancer]

That must be a horrible sensation am so sorry to hear that.Please contact your GP or if very breathless seek immediate medical attention.

There is also an asthma helpline who are very good .

Hope that you get the help you need promptly.

Sometimes, when it's really humid.

I get it occasionally. I use a hand held fan to my mouth or my nebuliser. Try not to be too active. Hope it's just temporary and gets better.

[NLGA in reply to Grayjay]

I sleep with a fan about 2 foot from my face I find this helps although people say it’s no so good for asthmatics

[Grayjay in reply to NLGA]

If it helps you that's the main thing.👍

I dont have this all day everyday, but have noticed this last few weeks that I am gasping a bit more and have put this down to not having enough walks. The weather has been too hot to walk around but I feel that not moving around isnt exercising my heart and lungs so am making an effort to walk more now that the weather is cooling down. Sounds like you should have a talk with your doctor x

Hope this will soon go away.
