When I am REALLY short of breath, I have noticed that my heart POUNDS -- almost HURTS. This happens a lot when I am in an exacerbation -- especially when I go up steps or try to walk too fast or pick up something heavy.

I dunno -- I sleep with a fan/air purifier -- blowing IN my face. Maybe that helps me breathe better? So sorry you are getting enough air. I have asthma, too -- not getting enough air is a BAD feeling!!

I don't think I need a BiPap or CPap, yet -- I don't have any symptoms, either. NOT really wanting that mask on my face -- makes me think about the thing they put on me in the MRI.

My eyes closed fine UNTIL I started having bad DV last Fall. When I went to the neuro-opthalmologist, he saw how dry my eyes were and told me about OTC drops and cream to use (from Walgreens). I don't like the cream (scary to get a tube that close to my eye) -- but, the drops feel AWESOME!! And my sceleras have gone from grayish BACK to white.
