Breathless

[Shell74]

Hi everyone, I have been having shortness of breath for a couple of weeks, I was at doctors they put me on an antibiotic just in case I have an infection, sometimes I'm struggling to breathe, I waken up with it to, it's starting to scare me, as I feel I'm taking my last breath, does anyone else get this thanks for taking the time to read xo

Have a look at the answers to BonneG's post 2 days back SHell as she had a big response. It seems as though alot of people on the forum have the same or similar problems it is very frightening vas you can feel as though you are drowning.

I know I often get very breathless especially if I am having a flare or try to rush too much especially if I am over tired. Wonder whether you have been under any extra stress lately?

Do hope you get an answer to what is causing it.x

I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I sincerely hope that you feel better soon. I have asthma and COPD and I have all kinds of breathing issues and it can be quite alarming. I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi yes join the club i wake up like it like taking my last breath wheezing like a steam train and out of breath doing nothing and now feel so weak all the time.

Had to go up the road other day walking like someone in there 90's im 53 as so slow by time was on way back i'd had enough just found/finding it too much.

Get sort of stressed out feeling as so uncomfortable within yourself.

Use the blue pump but don't seem to do much unless hours later? if i set down for while feel better for while and when weather was hotter really struggled where as cooler and wet weather felt better.

Was with friend wondering around B&Q for some bits for there flat in the end had to say i need to stop n sit down as thought nearly needing ambulance as could feel the world going round and face going numb like when i collapsed which i think then was body had no oxygen has had it a few times since been on verge but stopped and sort of controlled it!

Found tiredness makes it worse and if say like not got up till later in the day after trying to sleep longer(My sleep is dire now)having a lay in just keep nodding off of short while then sometimes drop of for longer then go out and feel better for a while like other day walked round corner ok to get some bits and have a cup of tea at friends shop by time walked back was really bad again have to stop ever short while.

But always seem to bring thick stuff up milky white mostly but yellowish also.

Saw a friend not seen for while yesterday his wifes mum has fibro too asked a few things like pain in base of spine and wife said yep has that and quite a few others things but funny as many have that but never comes into questions/tests on fibro?

But he said spoke to his old boss while back and said about me how i used to get all there gear up the stairs to top kitchen at Walthamstow dogs i was rough n ready back then 100 miles cycling was nothing i even bump started a 7.5 tonne truck fully loaded with 2 people in it on my own now struggle to "bump" start my little fishing trolley.

Took part in a Fibro study at St Thomas's hospital last week lady there said many found breathing problems. also been better on HRT. pain meds don't work.

Is hereditary/runs in families even though Quacks try to debunk. my sister has it cousins have problems my other cousin has same thing now as just so tired out all the time they said has meneires (forget spelling)but now said can't even hoover up.

Quite funny things that i worked out myself now have come true!
