Okay, so I know others have had this. I had it really bad a few years ago. It’s back a little and I’m worried: I’m worried because before I was also being exposed to a lot of toxic mold. Nighttime coughing scares me about asthma which can be caused from mold. I went through the whole asthma scenario 3 years ago. Methacholine challenge test was negative - no asthma. Anyway - so you understand my fears.

Over the past week, I have gasped for air numerous times at night, even after first laying down. Also had some coughing. All of this only at night. When I gasp for air, I get a lung full without any trouble. No chest tightness or air hunger. When this happens, I can feel my mouth opened and dry and wonder if my airway is getting closed off. Regardless, this JUST STARTED up again in the last week.

I have also been having random bouts of anxiety, crying fits, and feeling like I’m slowly dying from all this and my pathetic attempts at treatment are worthless. I’ve also been feeling a lot of PTSD without the P.

Only thing different is I started dabbling with treating parasites and babesia back in Sep but stopped for the most part due to increased symptoms that seemed like bartonella. Last Friday I took full doses of Mimosa pudica morning and night and pooped out 2 worm shaped things Saturday and felt icky and had a headache. I repeated the process on Tuesday hoping to poop out more stuff on Wednesday but so far, nothing. I did get bloating and headache. Had dull pain around my right eye and upper right sinus cavity all day yesterday and still have it. Took 10 drops.of crypto at bedtime last night. Felt a little better today but still eye headache and had some brain burning this morning.

Questions: What does the gasping for air and coughing at night sound like to you?

For those who had those symptoms, what treatment brought it on or stopped it? What did you associate it with?

this is my exact symptom for mold

things that helped me: chlorophyl, EO's (carvacrol oil mostly) in a nebulizer, and rife treatments using the DNA targeted frequencies for Staph A and Aspergillus Niger and Mycoplasma P.

Ouch!!! Definitely not what I wanted to hear. I bought the chlorophyll you recommended, only it says “chlorophyllin.” I’ve been taking one capsule a day, usually with lunch, but can’t tell it’s doing anything.

try taking like 10 caps on an empty stomach or with just some tea or some yogurt. chlorophyllin is fine.

honestly the only thing that really dramatically helped my mold situation has been the rife.

Btw, when I have this symptom that ALWAYS for me means active mold in my immediate environment

I had to get ruthless with every possession and rid myself of EVERYTHING that was even slightly moldy. Donated 80% of my clothes even though to others they smelled fine, but to me they were slight moldy.

forced air heat? if so its likely picking mold from somewhere in/around your house and spewing it everywhere.

Yeah. I know about cross-contamination. I initially brought some clothes with me and washed them multiple times in Borax, but I still felt like they were contaminated.

There is one thing I thought of. The only thing different at night is I switched which end of the sofa I lay my head at night. I switched a week or so ago. Now my head is near the Christmas tree. While I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to the tree, it and everything on it came out of the attic. I’ll try switching back and see if anything changes.

its probably the tree

is it a live tree sitting in water? If so, thats your mold source right there, guarantee it

It's interesting, wherever I read something about mould they say that it gives you "flat symptoms", consistent, and if you're getting flares it's not from mold. I know it's hard to guess what comes from what, but I feel this can't be further from the truth.

I used to have "flat symptoms" while I lived in my previous apartment, like sneezing, headaches, dry sensitive eyes etc, but this was prior to CIRS which I assume I now have.

I would get the waking up gasping for air at times as well. It happened mostly while I was sleeping in the house. I have been in a tent for a good 6 months now and no gasping. So, either the bvt is help a lyme symptom, or it was a mold symptom from being in the house.

I'm 100% positive this is mold. When mold in my environment is high, I get this precise thing. When its not, I dont

I used to wake up a few times a night in a panic gasping for air - for me it was lyme - as it went away with Lyme treatment.

Nope. Fake tree. I looked at the vent last night and noticed it was directly above where I was l laying my head. I switched back last night and it was better.
