Re: Heat and breathing difficulty

[Guest guest]

Hi Cathy. Thanks for your message. I have had difficulty breathing

now for nearly a month. I had not tied it to the heat but it is hot

here in the southwest so this makes sense. I know my breathing

capaicity was only 70% but I was doing ok with thatuntil a month

ago. My chest does

feel heavy and I am told my episode is asthma. I am going to make

arrangements to see a specialist because this could be the CMT.

Thanks for writing- now I have some ideas on what may be causing my

difficulty with breathing and loss of energy. I also feel slowed down

like I am carrying weights. H

Cathy, yes I gasp for air. And if hot air hits my face, it takes my

breath away then I gasp for air those times too, it is very scary. And to

get choked while gasping??? Very scary indeed! ~>Becky M.
