fans at night - classic symptom of breathing disorders

[Guest guest]

Just a heads-up to those who run fans at night-

Some women suffering from hot flashes find they just need the sensation

of air blowing, whether a fan or opening a car window.

It's pretty common for people with lung conditions to feel they cannot

get enough air in. I recall a respiratory therapist posting on a lung

group advising us to run a fan to help with the sensation of not having

enough oxygen. Not sure if those of you running fans have asthma or

COPD or other breathing disorders. Just a thought.

And yes, I also run a fan to help with the sensation of suffocating and

not being able to get enough air; but I have interstitial lung disease,

so I really do have trouble getting enough oxygen in.
