Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Thanks Lamar for the suggestion. I have had the scratch and blood test. The scratch test was false/positive so the doctor did not want to use injections because they could possibly worsen my condition. You are right about the anxiety- when I cannot breath then I get frightened. My husband is a hypnotherapist and I have used hypnotherapy in the past. He became a hypnotherapist because hypnotherapy is the only thing that works with me sometimes. However, I am stubborn and don't use my time to do the self hypnotherapy like I should- I just get too busy. I tired using it myself and had no success with these attacks because I was out of practice. It does work for many medical conditions because it goes deep into the unconscious. Most of the asthma's conditions are triggered by emotions and are helped with the hypnotherapy. The hypnotherapy also helps with the pain and rises the level of energy so I need to use it more. I will ask my doctor to refer me to a pulmonologist because the chest pain has gone on for years. I know my breathing capacity is only 70%. -- In CMTUS (AT) e, " Lamar son " wrote: > , > Lamar here, > > The most likely thing is acute bronchitis from the inflammation as you were told. Also, with today's medications most asthma can be helped with maintenance medications. Have you had allergy testing? Dust mites and certain pollens are the most common allergens. Any breathing problem causes anxiety which can lead to chest pains-- (possibly the reason hypnotherapy was used, as it is not a common treatment for asthma or respiratory distress other than for the emotional aspect) > > I think it would be very unlikely the problems you describe are related to CMT.
