I hope you'll be able to help me here, on thanksgiving day, I spent the entire day cleaning. After a while I felt my chest heavy and my breathing felt off. So I stopped for the night, went to bed like an hour later. I woke up at 2am not able to breathe. Felt like an asthma attack. I had asthma as a kid but this also felt different. I couldn't control it. I freaked out a bit and luckily found an asthma pump left by my cousin. It helped but it all came back hours later. I waited a few days to see if maybe my lungs would clear out but nothing changed. I finally went to the e.r. They started treating me for asthma and then took a chest X-ray and said they didn't see anything and just prescribed me steroids and a new pump. It's 2 days now since I went to e.r. And I feel the same but now my chest feels congested and is going up to my throat. I still am not able to breathe properly. I feel weak and my heart rate goes up after walking for some time. I get small coughs but mainly because I try to breathe in deep and I can't. So I haven't had any flem come up. Could this be walking pneumonia? I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Dr. Nurse thank you for your reply. So after I went to the e.r. I was prescribed steroids and they seemed to Have helped. I took them for about 4 days but about 2-3 days after my last pills, the breathing issues came back, which were actually last night and today. These don't feel like asthma attacks because they aren't coming and going but just coming and staying. I've never dealt with this before even as a kid when I had asthma. I have mucus in my throat and have had it for a while. I haven't coughed up anything. If I do cough it's small and dry. I do have the sensation that my lungs want to be cleaned out. As much as I'd like to go to my primary care doctor, I don't really trust him. I really don't know what I should do. I think I may go back to the e.r. Tomorrow if I feel it again in the morning.
Excellent
