Do you have wheezing sounds?
Do your muscles in your chest feel like they are not working? Wheezing sounds respond to inhalers. The difficulty is inside the lungs. But muscular problems are another thing entirely. Myasthenia gravis and MS affect the muscles of the chest.

Are the muscles in-between your ribs sore to touch?
If so, then possible trigger points, or possible muscle spasms are the cause...

So start with the easiest solution... get an inhaler.
Your GP will want to listen to your chest...for rales etc. before giving an albuterol inhaler. I have some episodes of swelling in the throat from my HAE...and at those times I breathe strangely and loudly. But that is a rare condition I have, so I just do calming exercises and that helps. Humidity I agree is awful for me too. But I always carry an inhaler... bus exhaust and fireplace smoke, and ammonia give me asthma attacks. You could have a mixed condition too.

Thanks Mrs D,
I went to my primary and she actually did give me an albuteral pump thing. I haven't used it yet because I hate drugs!!! I don't know if it will even work. I asked someone I know who has asthma with an inhaler pump, and she said the only one that works for her is the one with prednisone in it. My mom thinks I shouldn't use it unless I'm wheezing. Part of me thinks I should just try it during one of these episodes because it might help with the diagnostic part of what's going on. I just don't think it will help if my muscles are what is causing the oxygen problem. |

You should definitely try it! There's nothing to lose, since you do not have to commit to it. Try and see if it helps and you might feel better, that's what we are all aiming for eventually! There is no need to be anxious about it, just give it a shot.

How to use an inhaler properly:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...ons/000041.htm If you put it in your mouth, the aerosol spray will coat your mouth and be absorbed systemically and raise heart rate, etc. Placing it 1-2 inches in front of the lips and inhaling as you press it down, allows you to inhale the mist as much as possible, which is where it has to go...down the pipes and into the bronchi.
