I have a history of asthma and my daughter was diagnosed with asthma as a baby. I’m EXTREMELY thankful that you made and shared this with us🫂🫂 My daughter isn’t taking it serious so I just shared your video because not being able to breath is scary.
When I’m running my breath comes out fast and I struggle to breathe and I have itchy throat even tho I don’t have sickness and my bones in my neck and ribs is obvious but I’m kinda fat so do I have asthma? I didn’t tell about this on my parents tho
My family check on me at least twice a day to see how iam doing at first i thought 🤔 it was annoying but I get it now, they just want to know if I am ok ,i also have severe allergie to shell fish 🐠🐟 and must carry my EpiPen with me at all times, i wish that i could go to the store or any other place with out having to carry EpiPen and inhaler Albuterol in a pouch around my waist with a red cross symbol on it lucky that I can place my shirt 👕 over pouch and nobody would see it

I've had 2 massive asthma attacks in the last 4 years and 1 moderate one. All related to the flu. I was alone all 3 times. Most happened in the middle of the night while asleep. Never happened before in my life. The 1st one was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully I survived. Very scary...
I m coughing problem pre covid and after covid it got worsen. Now little change in weather and little cold make it worse and cough episodes for 2-3 months. Now it's not getting ok This time Throat is very bad. Never happened before. I start coughing suddenly and in morning once I have expe asthma attack like situation. Also I coughed blood twice due to throat infection and coughing so hard made my one vein burst and bloods start pouring out like tap crazy. Like you cut a veins. From that point I m avoiding cold food,drinks,and junk food. Also avoiding pollution. But one of new neighbour smokes in his room and cigarettes fumes travel to my room. Hope I can live upto 70+ Dying at 40-50 would be not good. Currently I m 27
I have asthma. But it is well controlled and I have a smartphone nearby just in case. Also caffeine (example caffeinated black coffee) can help during an asthma attack but opening up airways.
I have asthma but I think I have a flare up currently because my chest feels heavy and it’s hard to breathe, sleep, and my throat is so irritated. I don’t really feel like inhaler is helping… should I skip my workout tomorrow? Or do you think I will be ok? What is the actual danger of asthma? Because my Dr seems to think it’s not that big of a deal but I feel like I can’t breathe lol
Please if you suffer from asthma have inhalers with you at all times have a extra puffer with you have a action plan don't die in silence 🤐 let someone know how you feel ,thanx for sharing story it will save lives
May God give your the strength to continue. I’m very sorry for your loss. Trelegy changed my life. I forget I have asthma. My pulmonologist recommended it and it has done wonders for me. I struggle with very horrible asthma attacks.. I was very close to leaving this earth too…
Im sorry for your loss man I actually just lost the fiance to asthma after 8 years she I proposed to her 2 weeks before I can truelly relate the mornings use to be my favorite part of my day now they remind me that she's gone and I'll die alone because she's so special and precious to me that nobody can ever replace her im sorry man
i have stuffy nose,i sneeze too much,itchy throat and scratchy,watery eyes,feeling tired and weak with no energy,pale,not sleeping well,hard breathing,and pain in my lungs
The dress Bella wore wasn't meant to resemble coral but it the bronchiole tubes inside of your lungs. The dress is ugly as hell but it is not as stupid as you picture it. That you're not getting that and calling it coral, and calling it stupid rich peoples clothes, makes you look a bit stupid yorself..
Just read her story last night September 17th in the middle of an asthma attack.... no inhaler....wow.... peak asthma week?? Wow... I came to California on vacation... if I had known that. I would have made room for my nebulizer................ I left my nebulizer because it was too big.. or I had no space... Laura's story changed my life and my asthma attack plan. Thank you so much
I'm sorry for your loss. This brings so many tears. I almost succumbed to my asthma on July 31st. I walked to the E.R. too. I was tired of being treated like an anxiety case from some medical personnel. I have eisonephalic asthma, and you can have 100% saturation, but your chest will get tight as the mucus builds quickly to close your throat. It's a terrifying experience, and one can never know how it feels unless you have it. I am so sorry. You are right with this message.
@Sophiepretty132 they ended up giving me a cocktail of drugs. It worked, thank God. I mean, it's still a dangerous call to give all those drugs, but it beats ventilation. They almost initiated intubation.
Hello can you please respond to this comment please So I have really big trouble with breathing lately and sometimes it comes to the point of fainting. I really don’t know if this is asthma but because I have every single symptom on that list I’m scared now bc sometimes it even wakes me up at night and takes like 20 mins to go away, my breathing is like when you just finished PE at school, but I’m just sitting down though. I’ve told my mother a lot of times but she just keeps saying that it will go away and I’m overthinking it that’s why this is happening. But please respond to what happening because I’m not sure thank you if you read it 😊
Sorry for the delay in responding. If you have symptoms, it would be best to see a doctor. They will take a careful history and possibly do some tests to see if it asthma or something else. Asthma symptoms can wake you up at night. Please try to convince your mom or other adult to help you see a doctor.
I had coughing, chest pain, chest tightness and struggling to breathe, I am going to a doctor soon so I could do an test and diagnosis of asthma, hope it goes well!
I just found out I have asthma and I honestly do feel isolated and afraid sometimes. Two days ago, i had an asthma attack and it was painful. I hope these people do well in their lives.
If I go to a cold room to a warm room, eating food that has preservatives, being too close to animals, getting upset is a trigger, fear or getting upset. Most of the time I'd rather not leave my apartment. Sometimes sitting still and have a cup of coffee helps.
shortness of breath from the time i wake up until the time i go sleep i constantly feel like im struggling for air through my nose and mouth breathing is too tiring too, im always in a state of panic and anxiety like a headless chicken and was diagnosed by a ear nose and throat specialist that i have polyps and been given steroid nasal drops which i have been taking for nearly 6 months now and they haven't helped at all but recently i have been doing research and polyps could be linked to asthma right? so just wondering if anyone can help me with this please? i have a follow up appointment with the ear nose and throat specialist next month, would it be worth asking for asthma tests? if anyone could help with this i would really appreciate it, ive been struggling to breath for nearly 16 years and im literally stuck in bed these days 😭
@@vitorfernandes6747 i honestly still feel this way all the time 😥 and are your saying it might be asthma because if you cant breath through your nose properly it can dry up and cause a panic right? i have actually asked my doctors since i wrote this comment if they can test me for asthma so i am currently waiting for a peak flow and spirometry test, hoping it helps 🙏
@@Danielle-ou2wv yes with that test you can know if you have any obstruction, but you feel like heavy breathing? Like a weight on chest? And thoraxic muscle pain?
@@vitorfernandes6747 is it yeah? hoping it helps 🙏 and yeah honestly it feels like just to take one breath i am drowning or something 😣 im just so out of breath and cant breath in and out of my nose or mouth all day and night long, its so draining 😖 the only time i cant feel this problem affecting me is when im asleep 😖 the doctors thought it was mental health to start off with because of the way i panic but ive been trying to tell them i cant breath properly and done some research and think it might be asthma so just hoping to get the appointment through soon and start to feel better soon hopefully, as ive been like this for so long now and its my main focus every day, i am stuck at home not being able to do much which doesnt help when your a mom of 2 either 🙈
I have breathing problem Weakness Tiredness Watery eyes Pale As if I have no energy felt Left side chest pain Gasping for breathe Sneezing Coughing without any reason Sometimes itchy throat While running only for 1 min I cannot breathe properly for 5 minutes I don't know what to do know feeling scared to go to doctor
