Update on my condition

[zeneros]

So far its been 11 days since I went to the ER and I thought I was not breathing. After I went to my GP and gave Omeprazole, its been a scary ride.

The tightness in my throat seems to be going down. Still feel some mild to little tightness all day. Still throwing up saliva/mucus around 3-5 a day. I don't feel so weak as before.

The only problem Im dealing with now is when my breathing gets low and I think I'm not breathing well and I start gasping for air. Same when my throat is dry or sticky. I get my pulse oximeter to see if im getting enough oxygen since I have asthma. Sometimes I feel like I have to put extra effort to take a breath. Feels like my lungs are tire. But when I do breathing exercises or burp it seems too calm down. I get really scare when that happens.

Hope I get better soon. I miss my old routine life. I hate being depress in bed all day.

Acid can irritate the lungs and then mimic asthma symptoms of not being able to breath. You have not been on omeprazole very long and it takes a few weeks to work so hang on in there xxx

thank you it makes me feel better. I thought it might be my lungs. Its awful feeling like my lungs are tired.
