Birthday breathing problems?

[FarmerD]

So since last week,since getting the first cold I,ve had in three years( many chest infections though ) y breathing has got gradually worse.On Paddies day I was sixty,one hour into the 18th just going to the loo had me gasping to breathe.Off to GP s I did,nt want another Saturday morning (early) in A&E.Chest checked is clear .Back on 30mg Devils smarties (prednisolone).Should be back down to maintainance dose by Brompton appointment.I remember I actually came out of hospital on my birthday last year,I wondering if it,s just this time of year,weather wise,or if something else is going on.

Any thoughts?Tried to keep this one short you might need to check my earlier posts to understand some bits of it.Happy breathing!D.

Happy Birthday for yesterday! 🎂🎈🎊🎉🍰

Sorry you're feeling unwell but at least you were checked over & hopefully you'll stay infection free.

Could be the weather, it's so changeable. One minute it's freezing the next day it's like Spring.

Do hope you're ok for Brompton.

Take care of yourself 🌸

Hi Dave

We are birthday twins! My birthday is on Paddies day to. I actually just got over a virus myself. This weather is terrible. 60 degrees today. Sunday, we're looking at cold temps and snow! Thought we were done with that.

Sorry you're having so much trouble with your breathing. Please let us know how you're doing.😊 Last year, my dad passed away 4 days before my birthday. This year ,

my uncle died on my birthday. Talk about Paddies day birthdays, right? Happy belated birthday!

Rubyxx 😊 😊

[FarmerD in reply to rubyred777]

Hi Ruby,condolences for your bereavement.Just proves I should,nt moan,there,s always some body worse off.I don,t think I have ever met a person with the same birthday,if we met we could link pinkies like kids lol.Daft thing is I,m in London and the weather is pretty mild really.The way I,m feeling I think I might have a tummy bug,still feel like being sick.They did bloods at the hospital and everything was normal so I don.t know.Just have to grin and bare it.So much for trying to get fit for my op.Oops nearly forgot happy belated birthday to you too.Take care of yourself Ruby.D.xx 🌺

I missed your Birthday, and I hope it was a lovely day for you. I also hope that your chest infection is clearing and you are feeling a bit better by now.

Hi Jennifer,thank you ,yes I did have a lovely birthday.My wife got me a very posh leather waistcoat which I wear with pride.My son got me a mini studio thingy for my guitar which is amazing and he cooked our meal.They had steak ,I had a fried egg with sauté potatoes because of my dickie tum.The steroids are beginning to work so can actually move about without thinking I,m going to pop my clogs.Take care,keep smiling.D. 🌹

[Hidden in reply to FarmerD]

I'm happy they are kicking in, and you had a perfect day! What a lovely thoughtful family.

Hope the smarties are starting to work for you farmer D.

I can have problems this time of year but I think its self inflicted. I always start doing to much to soon as the weather starts to improve. I went a little crazy last weekend and suffered for it. Had a good day midweek so trimmed a tree back in the garden and have paid for it again.

I'm feeling better this morning and am already thinking of what I can do out in the garden, it seems I just can't learn 😊

[FarmerD in reply to dall05]

Hi Dall,you Take it easy now.What with you and Tam I feel a right lazy old git.I seem to suffer enough without over doing it,or am I just a woose?Was it you that coined the term Devils smarties? My memory is atrocious.They are starting to calm the breathing thank goodness.Take care.D.

[casper99]

A belated happy birthday Farmer, it's great to hear you still managed to have a good one dispute feeling so breathless. I hope your feeling better by now. xx

[FarmerD in reply to casper99]

Thanks Casper,getting there slowly but surely.D.

IT could be the time of year. I have just got over a sinus infection and had one at about the same time last year too. Didn't stay in the sinus this time though so onto my emergency antibiotics and took the last ones today. Peak flow is good so hoping it is all gone.
