Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I need to know if I am the only one... I've been fighting bronchitis for almost a week now. I've finished my Z-pack and have 1 more day of prednisone. For the most part I'm feeling better. I've had a good bit of energy yesterday and today. Before this bout of bronchitis I have had spasms near the lower lobes of my lungs. Always in one lung or the other and never both at the same time. I asked the pulmo about it at my last visit to Mayo and he said they were likely muscle spasms due to strained muscles working so hard to help me breath. For 2 days now I've had spasms in the same areas as before. But these spasms are a whole other magnitude than before. Just last night I was woken up by my own yelling from the pain around my left lung. Again this afternoon I was woken up from a nap with the same pain/spasm on the other side. There have been a few other incidents while I've been awake. They don't seem nearly as scary when I'm awake as they do when I'm woken up with them. Thanks in advance!
