My GP has prescribed it, as far as we can tell from tests I have no allergies....
The cold has been making me very short of breath lately, and there is no doubt Ventolib helps after more than 2 puffs. But I never cough or wheeze and never used to have any issue with cold. Is it...
Thank you; sadly the evidence is actually mounting of a physical cause. We have observed many incidents of low oxygen saturation while I am awake and asleep, as well as a number of connections to my...
Is it possible to have hyperventilation without pins and needles or a racing heart, especially at rest? And does it cause an overwhelming urge to breath, even if you only take one or two deep breaths?...
My pharmacy is closed for good friday and i need some gaviscon advanxe for shortness of breath lpr urgently. Will Double action be effective at all? (UK brand)...
My physiotherapist has helped me find a potential cause for my breathing issues after a 3rd consecutive paramedic call-out. The bad news is it isn't well heard of and hard to prove; it's a narrow...
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...
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...
I've had some serious difficulty breathing lately, but I also have a very tight throat. I think the tightness is from the reflux, but I also tighten up a lot in the cold. When my throat is as tight...
I'm desperate for help; I'm needing triple the usual dosage of blue inhaler as it stands, and after over a month, my brown and green inhalers have yet to help me at all. I cannot see a doctor about...
No nebulizers at the time. I was told to just calm down, despite having 85% oxygen, amd go home. As long as mucus is clogging my throat, the symptoms persist....
ER yes, they labelled it asthma, but my inhalers aren't helping with this....
Just had a breathing attack which I couldn't control with inhalers. My heart raced, my body weakened and Ivthought I might vomit. I also felt no space for air to get past all the mucus in my throat....
Are there any reported cases here of Vocal Chord Dysfunction going away once LPR is surgically treated, please? I am at a point where I am scared to swallow my own saliva, which triggers dyspnea, or...
I currently have similar; a Serevent duo-inhaler at the same dosage, along with my Clenil Modulite steroid inhaler. Unfortunately it has yet to do anything positive for me at all....
I can't see a doctor until January and I'm forbidden to go to A&E by my family. At the same time, I am having ongoing symptoms of asthma, and at worst, repeated mild attacks. Only my blue Ventolin...
A cough WHEN you get asthma symptoms you say? Odd. A single cough is all it takes to trigger my symptons. Or a huff. Or a laugh, or talking too much without inhaling. Why are my lungs so sensitive...
I have had a bit of good news. Owing to how long my symptoms have troubled me for, I have been reconsidered for surgery if I try talking to a new specialist in the new year. We know for a fact LPR...
Especially at night, but typically all day for me. I get tight chested and feel I can't breath in past the tightness/throat mucus. Symptoms are relieved immediatly if I get warmer, and begin...
All I have right now is the usual brown and blue inhaler; brown, 2 puffs twice a day and blue 2 puffs up to 4 times a day. I've been at it for nearly a fortnight now, and neither can help in certain...
I learned recently my GP has withheld info from me about a potential breathing issue, possibly asthma or COPD. I really, really, really don't want asthma as well as LPR; it's the end of my chances of...
After I went to A&E I was advised to immediately see a duty doctor at my local GP's surgery as a nurse finally said "It's not hyperventilation." The doctor I saw checked my history for breathing...
I'm not sure if it's an oversight; to me it seems obvious just looking at my details that this appeared on an X-Ray. As for the symptoms, so the fact I'm not getting a racing heart etc means I'm not...
I learned recently my GPS has withheld info from me about a potential breathing issue, possibly asthma or COPD. I really, really, really don't want asthma as well as LPR; it's the end of my chances...
Sorry to revive an old post, but I have so many questions right now (see my other, more recent post). I apparantly had asthma as a child; what if it's come back, and it's the asthma that is causing...
I'm very angry at my GP for withholding information that points to me possibly having asthma, following what appear to have been serious asthma attacks for the last few days. I know of the connection...
[quote="Scaredy Cat"]Dax, You've seen an ENT...how about an allergist, or an asthma/breathing/pulmonary specialist? Have you completely ruled out anxiety as a cause/exacerbating issue? If so...I...
I've been mislabelled with hyperventilation syndrome and threatened with eviction by my parents if I dispute thia diagnosis, although I am absolutely certain it's wrong, wrong, ignorantly wrong! I...
The theory is something I've researched myself in lght of how desperate I am. LPR is already diagnosed in me, but nobody know why I have it. An ENT recently dismissed me. Symptoms begin immediatly...
This morning I got the fright of my life. While walking to a bus stop, I swallowed some mucus only to find it got lodged in my throat. This has happened to me a lot over these last 3 years, so I...
A while ago I posted here on a different board, saying I thought a receeding jaw might be the cause of my ongoing difficulty breathing symptoms. The matter remains the same; when I relax in a...
I'm still in the process of investigating my breathing/reflux issues after the last avenue turned out to be a dead end. :( I have read that anxiety can exagerate asthma, but can it flat out cause...
Sorry for so many questions lately, but in this case I want to make sure I know what to say to my new GP. I suspect I may have asthma, or at least anxiety mimicking it, brought on by LPR. Does anyone...
Currently I'm plagued by severe shortness of breath, never ending mucus and throat clearing. I also get gas, ear pain and sore throats. A single belch triggers my symptoms. At its worst swallowing...
In the UK, we don't have the kind of breads Koufman described in the famous reflux diet book. We don't have Wholegrain bread, just Wholemeal and White. The book is unclear on white bread; I like the...
Unfortunately it's not just my GP that won't help, it's the surgeons who could give me the LINX! They claim it's multi factorial and anxiety related. None of them are willing to take the risk to help...
Another UK doctor has refused to give me LPR surgery. Despite the fact I have symptoms bad enough to take away my work life and independence, and despite a positive impedance and Peptest, nobody will...
To answer both replies: - Yes I do still have burping; a single burp is all it taes to trigger my vocal chords to close. - I have had an impedamce along with the Restech, seperatly. This test was the...
Unfortunatly the doctors keep telling me they won't help me because my LES pressure was normal at the time of testing. As for your fundo experiences, I think it's another reason I would proritise...
@eric I would take anything at this point to cure my symptoms, but if given the choice, I would try the LINX first; at least it's reversible. @ Andy Yes I have normal levels in daytime for the most...
Agh, I'm back where I started desperately looking for LINX surgery again. A doctor suggested I have Vocal Chord Dysfunction, but since the speech therapy techniques and medications don't help me, the...
Help! It's stopped working altogether; I can barelt breath when relaxed-! Every time I think I've found an answer, I get my hopes up only for it all to be crushed. I wish the gods would just TELL ME...
That went horribly wrong. I now have more questions than before, and I couldn't recreate my symptoms in the room. We have determined that RELAXATION of any kind makes my airways close, so soft...
Well this is going to pieces. One of our family friends is pharmacist. She looked at my device, and agreed I have a small jaw, likely apnea and that the device opens airways. But then she STILL said...
@ Blue Cat; I'm a UK citizen! The wotld leader is in New York, but I could never afford to travel there sadly. :( @ Scaredy Cat; Thank you. It's tricky because an entire side of my teeth curve in - a...
I apologise for my absence, life has been horrid as my symptoms, especially my breathing difficulties, have worsened. There may be hope though. On a whim, I bought a jaw/mandibular advancement device...
On a whim, I bought a jaw advancement device from a pharmacy today, with the intention of wearing it while awake, as well as while asleep. It's called a Snoreeze Oral Device. I've never had any...
Not yet I don't, the inhaler is new this week. I hate that laughing/walking/staying relaxed worsens me. I had an allergy test today. I am allergic to grass pollen, but I already knew that. Right now,...
I think I've been ok sp far with the inhaler, Ventolin. It made my chest tighten up, which is weird, because normally I don't get that symptom. I think it caused me insomnia, which is bad - I hardly...
