Re: still shortness of breath...doctors don't know why???

[Guest guest]

sounds like you need a few days at the ocean. you are in northern california,

right? Try to get out to Muir woods, or the redwoods, or anywhere along the

coast there, and see if that helps. you really should get off albuterol. the

other thing you mention Flovent is that a steroid? (Flonase is steroid,

anti-inflammatory, so just guessing. Flonase will give you nose bleeds). Also

sounds like you need to move to another area, away from whatever is bugging you.

We have cottonwood trees next door, absolutely torture. But at least we know the

demon and can deal with it for 2 months of the year, part of that time LEAVING

TOWN. At night I have the Vicks vaporizer mist machine going all night, using

Vitamin C treated water. Makes a big difference for us.

Shefy - I seem to recall that low thyroid could cause shortness of

breath and an unfulfilled breath. Have you checked your thyroid? Basal

temperature test would be most appropriate, as bloodwork may or may

not show it sometimes. Look up Dr.Broda book/info...

Hello,

I am always reluctant to give any information when people complain

about shortness of breath because it can be caused by different

issues, but what shefy is describing here:

> > I'm still having the same freaking feeling that I'm struggling

to get

is something I've experienced many, many times. I do not have it

all of the time and I've noticed it occurs more if I am in a small

room with more than one person. Prior to being told I was

experiencing this because I have hypothyroidism I always thought I

was not getting enough oxygen.

The sensation I have likened to a yawn and maybe that is helpful

because if I follow through as if yawning I seem to be able to

get 'the last part of the breath that's so satisfying and crucial.'

Maybe this will help, shefy.

I have had shortness of breath for several years now, but I was

assumning that it was because I had 3 bouts of blood clots in my

lungs. Now, I have scaring and atelactasis (spelling) in the lower

part of my lungs.
