recovery times

hey,

i was wondering how long after an attack people start to feel back to normal (if there is such a thing). For me its different with each attack, i can have one and then be back doing whatever i was doing 30 minutes later (although i'll admit it can be an part of an act at time when i just want to tell people i'm ok when i'm not) and other times like today it takes hours to recover. I took an attack quite suddenly at work, no warning at all, my chest normally starts going tight so i go off and try to deal with it but today i was woring one minute and on the floor unable to breathe the next. it set me off for the day, i ended up coming home eventually (i attempted a couple of hours after) i just don't know if i should feel 100% by now or if this is normal.

any advice would be appreciated!

hi,

I was told that after a really bad episode, a few days / week of asthma, ie when you get cold (if asthmatic) that it can take up to 10 weeks for your lungs to fully recover. I was very sick at christmas, and although my lungs have mostly recovered, I am still not completely back to normal.

Apparently according to my consultant, it does take time to recover, particularly when your lungs have been irritated for some days. I was told not to 'over do it'

I think this is probably individual, but I guess the longer your lungs are 'irritated and reactive' the longer it will take to recover.

10 weeks? that is such a long time. its understandable though. i suppose everyone will be different but sometimes its so annoying. i just don' feel right and i know its because of this cold! i just want i to go away!!
