Glad you 02 levels are OK Germantara - Last two day come evening my breathing has been not good at all, no wheezing like you , just hard to breath, I had a bit off flutter in chest and near dialed 999 but like you road it out.
I think you daughter is right, Dr would have sent you to hospital if he/her thought you was in danger, Hope you are feeling well soon.
Just wondering how your oxygen levels can be fine yet short of breath, same happens to me?
Thankyou for you're reply it means alot to me when I get replys it makes feel I'm not alone and I can talk to peaple at hospital yesterday they said all the tests done more so looking for infection in body or blood but everything perfect that was there very words I realy don't know why my oxagen levels were perfect again that's what they said my breathing being the worst ever encountered to be honest I had thought I'm going ta pop off to honest think my daughter a bit nervous think she might think I'm going ta pop off
It's not the fact you are short of breather that caused loe 02 levels, it's what is causing shortage of breath. I often have low 02 without being breathless.
Think I sent messag
ERN IM SORRY TA HEAR YOURE BREATHING NOT BEING GOOD ITS AWFULL I HOPE YOU START TO GET SOME EASE FROM IT IM WONDERING ERN IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON MY OXAGEN LEVEL VERY GOOD EVERYTHING WITH MY BLOOD WER
Thank you Germantara - My breathing can be really bad but my 02 Levels are normal for me.
Depends why breathing is bad yet normal 02 readings The good think about this is although breathing is bad, with normal 02, not likely to be damaging as all organs recieving Oxygen.
Persistand hard breathing even with normal 02, I think should be investigated if not going away.
With me I can be in bed watching TV and can take a reading of 90 and still be brerathing Ok.
I really hope your breathing is right soon, being out of breath can be distressing.
Hoping you do much better soon Germantara. Wishing you well. Xxxx
Thankyou
I hope you feel better soon 💕 xx
It's extremely frustrating isn't it nowadays getting a face to face appointment at the doctors!
Once I was due to have had a 4.50pm appointment at the doctors and was still waiting at 5.30pm and a young family came in the waiting room saying they had a 5.30 appointment and I told them that the doctor was running late.
It's not very nice is it when you aren't well and have to wait ages to get seen!
Hi Tara, it's good your O2 levels are ok, and yes, your doctor would have sent you to the hospital if he was worried. Try and take things calmly, do breathing exercises (it feels silly doing them, but they do help!), drink LOTS of water, warm drinks too (I find they help loosen any mucous) and try to keep moving around.
I hope the antibiotics do their job, but if you don't feel better towards the end of the course get back in touch with the doctor.
Keep warm xx
Hi, just to say that Clarithromycin is a good antibiotic but I'm hoping that doc gave you at the very least 10 days of it - we lungies usually need 10 to 14 days of a decent antibiotic. Make sure you take them all as prescribed and I always found better with food (the instructions might say take on an empty stomach (I cant remember) but my gp told me with my dodgy stomach to take them with food. Drink plenty of fluids to help soften any mucus making it easier to get up and out, sometimes you're coughing to expel mucus but the airways are inflamed, it can't escape so cough cough cough. The steroid will help lower the inflammation. Sleeping more upright may help with the coughing. Keep checking for temperature and I hope you start to feel better soon ××
Do u have mucous Germantara? It causes coughing.if u dont already do lung clearance,look on aluk website for techniques.u may find clearing it am+ pm will reduce coughing.also look at ' controlled breathing- pursed lips technique '.it's really useful when struggling, as it helps to slow+ steady breathing,and also to relax.get well soon
HE IS BACK AT HOMEY
