Thanks Mary xxxx Hugs

We have a resident oxygen expert that will be along shortly no doubt, until then consider calling a doctor if it does not improve soon. Hard when down to see that life can have better times but it can with friends around.

I will Jk :-) Breathing is a bit pants this morning used my neb doubled up save messing about with both the salbutamol n atravent combined eased it a bit, but then pushes my heart rate further vicious circle am afraid... pppfttt

Be ok if it falls any lower will ring my respiratory team :-) x

Hi

I know it's it's hard but try relax and don't let the stress levels kick in, the more you get stresses the more bad you will feel.

I know things look bad just now but it will all dry in and if need be go through your home Insurance.

Sit back-relax and think of yourself. I'm sure if we all stayed local to you we would all be down in a zippy to muck in and help you sort out the water problem.

Take care

David

Aww Hi David,

My sis took over everything is drying out a bit the ceiling isn't brill but not alot I can do really..

I have not been with it at all today dead jittery, shakey and not with it at all with my oxygen dropping :-(

Not to worry it will be ok

Stress really does make things much worse for many of us people. Likewise I get tachycardia and am in A fib at the moment so know what the problem is with oxygen levels dropping the more stressed we get and with heart rate rising. I am lucky in that I have oxygen so have more of it in cases like yours. Sats of 85% are bad and you really need to have an urgent chat with your respiratory nurse, or if your sats stay that low get off to A and E. They will help you by giving oxygen, and the chances are you will be referred right away for oxygen assessment. Do not let it stay that long as if it does it the low sats will make you ill. Take it from someone that has been there, wore the t shirt and knows:-)

The best thing to do is what others have said. Let others sort out the mess. I am sure your family and friends will realise the help you need and muck in. Take a deep breathe, yes I know it is hard, and just get as laid back as possible.:-) Hope it gets sorted soon:-)

Aww Thanks hunny the mess is drying now and I do call 999 when 02 drops to much and when bpm get to high then they give me oxygen etc I for months keep going into Respiratory Failure etc grrr getting so fed up of being ill constantly and constant chest infections now living on both steroid/antibiotics etc etc daily can no longer come off them :-( xx
