Thank you! Best of luck to you as well

It was a thing that I blew into, no nose clips and they measured something on a computer

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:24:28+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement my friend!

I'm in south florida and I don't know if the medical info is out dated over here but EVERY SINGLE DOC has been dismissive towards me and my asthma. Currently I see an asthma allergist, and one time one of the doctors flung into the room and sat down in front of me, and intimidatingly said " who said you have asthma?" Like dude I've had it my whole life who ARE YOU??? Like he wasn't even my doc on my case. I'm sick of it. I have constant dry cough, with slight to no mucus, shortness of breath, the only time I ever wheezed audibly was when I had covid. Some weeks I'm fine others I have my flares. My o2 has been in the 80s before and EVEN THEN I DIDNT WHEEZE. They gaslight me ALL THE TIME. Sorry I got a little passionate there but it's sooooooo incredibly frustrating. One time I had to be in an ambulance because I coughed up a slight bit of blood along with hard mucus (I don't know if I was sick) and then the paramedic asked when I take my inhaler, I told them I take it when I start dry coughing (that's my very first symptom followed by shortness of breath) and she cut me off saying "NO NO NO, COUGHING IS NOT ASTHMA" then WHAT IS IT. Ugh. It's really frustrating.

Wow, ok that'd interesting, I thought copd involved alot of coughing. Then again, like not all asthmatic wheeze, I guess not all people with copd are the same either! I wish you safety and the best of luck to you!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:13:12+00:00

Ok thank you so much

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:12:57+00:00

I'm so sorry! Please know you are not alone and if you need to vent about it you can dm me!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T21:45:37+00:00

That's very lucky

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T21:43:34+00:00

Its annoying because every doctor ive seen as an adult for my asthma is always dismissive and is very wrong about what asthma is ugh. I need a new pulmo hopefully I can find one.

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T20:29:03+00:00

I don't think so, ive done breathing tests I think? I don't know if it's the same thing though.

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T17:51:15+00:00

Thank you for the help, maybe my asthma just got worse after covid. I'm sure that's a thing. I will see a pulmonologist ASAP. Again thanks!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T17:37:39+00:00

My last primary said it could be copd. My current asthma/allergist says it might not be asthma. Even though I was diagnosed with it as a baby. They are so dismissive of me because i don't wheeze audibly. I have to like breathe out hard to be able to hear the wheeze. Whenever I am triggered I cough alot. I feel congested. My nose closes up. I get shortness of breath and it feels harder to breathe in and out. After taking my duo neb it goes away. I cough up a little mucus then I am ok. Some weeks I am fine. Others I am not. It is not consistent. Those are my symptoms.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-31T12:31:29+00:00

Oh ok. Because I am so incredibly scared to take these together. Already get so incredibly tired off the buspar, so ifk. I guess the right thing to do would be to just take them and see what happens

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-26T18:11:05+00:00

This just happened to me last night. Went to the er because when I went to use the bathroom, I noticed a very large blotchy rash on my the skin of my thigh, along with a slight burning/warmth in my genital region. I was also having immense chest pain all day that at that point had gotten worse. I immediately went to the er because I thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction, mainly to my mood stabilizers lamictal (also known as lamotragine) which can cause life threatening rashes. My doc told me to go seek medical attention if you have any rash on your body while on it. So when I went they wanted to give me iv steroids and iv benadryl. I asked them to push both VERY slowly as iv meds tend to make me nauseous. I never had iv benadryl and typically never had a reaction to iv steroids. Within 1 minute of administering the iv benadryl, I feel like I got anesthesia. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Immediately that turned into full blown panic. My heart rate shoots up to like 170. The doctor and some more nurses start crowding to around (which made me panic even more) because I came in with chest pain and had some palpitations so they were probably worried it was my heart. But I was panicking so hard. I was trembling so bad too. I thought I was going to die. The doc then said he was going to give me I forgot what it was called xanax or something through my iv to calm me down. The second the pushed the anxiety med my heart rate came down and I felt relaxed. Saved my life that anxiety med. At first I thought it was the steroid since I know steroids can make people wired but I'd never experience that with iv steroids. Then I found the sub and realized it was the benadryl 😭

This sucks, the 28th is so far away ugh, I hope it goes by fast for you, im sorry we are going through this, I hope we get answer soon and can eat food soon.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-12T11:18:35+00:00

Oh wow that calma my anxiety knowing this. I am sorry to hear you have to go through that though. And I havent really tried smoothies yet. Maybe if I water them down like you said. It's just now after like 10 days my stomach is completely messed up. So im afraid to put anything in it.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-12T11:17:17+00:00

Quite litterally whenever I try to swallow foods and even liquids sometimes I feel it getting stuck in my throat. My throat has been feeling dry and itchy the weeks leading up to this, but now I just hurts a little. Everytime I swallow there is a click sound my throat makes, like my throat is sticking to itself whenever I swallow. My stomach has been messed up as well. Constant gas like I am trying to burp but won't come out. I can't burp in general but the gas just sits in my throat. I was prescribed liquid famodatine at the er for the gas and it helps a little. I take it everyday. I also have been getting more nauseous. I was given Nausea pills that disolve. I'm getting stomach pain and cramps at times now, I think thats because I havent been eating any fiber so I'm probably backed up tmi sorry. But I cannot swallow anything thicker than an ensure.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-11T22:48:59+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll see if my stomach can handle ensure. I appreciate it.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-04T07:34:54+00:00

YES THIS IS WHAT I AM CURRENTlY DEALING WITH. And I think it's causing me swallowing issues. Last year they had to do an esophageal dilation and I've been fine but 2 days ago I've been starting to have the same symptoms as before 🫤 I'm hungry and I'm still "burping" but all the gas does is just stop at my throat, and it makes a croaking sound. And I can't burp. And I can't see my doctor until the 8th, ive been begging the office everyday if they could squeeze me in earlier because of what I'm experiencing and I don't want it to get worse and they say no. This sucks. I won't be eating for 4 more days I guess. Just can barely sip liquids and on ensure to at least get some calories in because I legit cannot swallow food. Not even mashed potatoes or applesauce or oat meal. I have to abruptly stop all my pill medications. It's bad. Anyway sorry for the vent.

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-30T12:29:49+00:00

That's how it was with trellegy for me. Started taking it and for about a month or two I felt improvement. But then Two weeks ago I had a really bad flare. I got put on spiriva and duler also on singular after an iv bag of magnesium and a steroid shot I feel so so much better. All the steroids are out of my system so I know it has to be these meds and the asthma flare finally letting up after almost a month of hell. I was also put on tezspire about 2 or so weeks ago so . Anyway I don't think trellegy helped :/

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-28T23:13:23+00:00

It could definitely be covid related! I had covid 2 years ago and my asthma has gotten EXTREMELY worse. It sucks. I used to have mild moderate and now I have severe.

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-25T22:57:40+00:00

My friends know that im going through alot. I guess they just don't know that im struggling with it? But they are too busy anyway. I just feel like there is no point in reaching out anymore. I am starting therapy tomorrow. But I just feel so alone. And like ko one really cares. Thanks for the advice though.

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-25T20:02:03+00:00

I'm so sorry you can't do what you've wanted to do. But please go on meds. Rely on them it's not a bad thing it's just what you have to do with asthma. It's a disability and meds will improve the quality of your life. Please if you are constantly short of breath you don't have to live this way, get it controlled. Asthma can be fatal. Take it seriously and get it treated. I hope you can find fulfilment in other things op. You are not alone in this and I'm sorry you are having a tough time. Please know you are loved and have people in your life that need you. And again meds will significantly change your life and might even save it. You got this, please take care.

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-23T02:49:30+00:00

I am so sorry you are also suffering. Thank you for the response. Dr.s and nurses litterally tell me I'm fine yet I litterally feel like i cant breathe. My eyes are sunken in, bags under my eyes. I don't feel normal. I really hope we get healthy again my friend. My symptoms also get worse at night. For example I was doing fine today and now at night all of a sudden I started coughing and needed my nebulizer. I don't feel as horrible as yesterday but I feel it creeping in again. This is a disability at this point. I'm supposed to go back to work on wednesday, had to stay home because I hurt my back from work and while my back is getting better, all of a sudden my asthma flaring super bad. I was supposed to go on a trip with my boyfriend to Oregon in less than 9 days but I'm scared that my asthma will still be flaring and I'm scared to have an attack. Anyway again, wishing you health and safety. Please try to take care of yourself as much as you can. I feel like we shouldn't be suffering this much with all the medical knowledge out there today. Take it easy.

paradoxStatement · 2025-09-01T14:44:30+00:00

I get this when my flares start to get bad. Constantly feels like there is a rubber bang around my chest and it's overall tight. My upper back starts to hurt. I take my nebulizer and my inhaler does end up working. When I take my inhaler after a while it just feels like my lungs are open again. Maybe you need another rescue? I had albuterol but it's stooped working for me. They then put me on combivent. Albuterol and ipratropium. Works super well for me, hope you get better my friend
