Tongue

This week alome I've had 20 difficulty breathinh episodes, but genuine ones, not hyperventilation. I've even turned slightly blue in my most recent attack this evening. It feels like my tongue is covering my windpipe. It always gets worse when I relax, or if I don't sleep so the body is forced to 'relax' and happens when I am awake as well as when I'm asleep and unaware.

Today I woke up choking and gagging, feeling ready to vomit. I felt tired and confused, and all that helped was hunching over with my head forwards and holding my jaw open.

I'm scared! Do I have narrow airways or something? It's essentially the breathinh issue I've faced for years now in more clear terms, but I am afraid to relax even slightly as a result. In fact Diazepam a few months back triggered my worst attack to memory, closing my windpipe off almost entirely!!

Dax,

You have seen an allergist? Been through testing?

Any new foods/drink that you can pinpoint this week? Is your asthma (essentially an allergy of sorts) kicking up?

S.C.

Allergist ruled out all major allergies. Inhalers don't really help this; although the cold and relaxation are my main triggers. I haven't slepr for days and can't sleep now, as I'm struggling for oxygen when I try to.
