Dear Wishfull,
Here is some good information on asthma. Please take asthma very seriously. On March 23 I had an acute asthma attack and my daughter found me unconscious on the couch and my face she said was blue. The paramedics came and took me to the ER. I was in ICU for 2 days and on the telemetry floor for 2 days. The last day I was on the medical floor. I asked my doctor 'What happened to me" He said, "you must have had a cold a few weeks ago and your chest started tightening up." I said " you mean asthma?" He said, " yes, you had an asthma attack, you almost died." I don't mean to scare you. I knew I was wheezing but I never really had a problem with asthma. I made sure my kids had their breathers but as a mom I didn't take care of myself. It almost killed me, when I was unconscious I inhaled sputum into my lungs and got aspiration pneumonia. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/...ma_WhatIs.html |
