ive had it since i was a baby . im now on serovent , beclomethazone ,salbutamol and have to visit my gp once a month to go on a nebuliser to help clear the lungs .
it is pretty bad at the moment and its stopping me from sleeping thru the night .
i find the quickest way to ease the breathing if the inhaler doesnt work very well is to crunch myself up on my knees and breath thru my nose . or wrap up warm and go outside and breath cold fresh air .
i was once hospitalised for 2 months after having a chronic attack , my heart stopped beating and i stopped breathing for just over 3 minits . apparently i was classed as clinicly dead . fortunatly my dad revived me by breathing for me for a couple of minutes so i owe my old man my life .
phill , dont worry bout it too much m8y after a few seconds of really struggling to breath its just like falling to sleep , its almost a relief when it happens (morbid i know but its the best way to describe my experience) .
