Breathing problems

[Guest guest]

I've had breathing problems for quite a few years. They have thought in the past it is because of reflux. I get chest pains & hard time breathing in the high humidity & also in the frigid cold in winter. The breathing difficulties I am having now are different than the previous ones. I am on Prevacid twice a day for the reflux. I am also on Singulair for the asthma. I have tried the inhaler today twice & didn't seem to help the burning much. I am also on Zocor for high cholesterol, Flexeril for spinal arthritis, Paxil to help keep my head on straight, Atenolol for rapid heartbeat, Synthroid for thyroid, Estraderm patch, Salsalate for help with the arthritis. I also take Citracal, a multivitamin & Didronal.

I'm wondering if the Pred might be the culprit with the breathing difficulties. I didn't have this burning until the Pred.

I am also "fluffy". Dr. was on my case about it but has dropped it real fast since all this began.

Had a scare this morning. My oldest daughter called to say she & my grandson might come tonight instead of tomorrow because they decided to have their furnace checked & cleaned & it was pretty bad. 3 of the main pipes have large cracks in them & a 4th has smaller cracks. Now it makes sense why she & her husband have been having headaches & why I would also get headaches when we were there. They have called a place in town for estimates & the soonest they can have a furnace is Monday. Of course you can't do your comparison shopping in an emergency situation. And don't you know the temps are in the low 40's high 30's. That's about all the excitement I can handle for this weekend.

Got a bonus though. My other grandson (5) is here. He's been wanting to come. So this is a good bonus. Tommy is 4 & they are the best of friends. Even though Grandma has things to do tonight & tomorrow night, Aunt Bridget will take with her tonight & then the older daughter will watch tomorrow night. Having these kids are the best thing that's happened to us. They give you unconditionally & don't ask for anything back.

Hope all of you have a nice weekend. One of these days I will be able to get into one of the chats.
