Shortness of breath: occasional 'bad' days?

Yes, I live at high altitude and 94 is good for me. Like you, my reading stays good when I can’t breathe easily. The inhaler must relax something that helps breathing. It may be emotional. I’m not aware of any nervousness or anxiety when it happens, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there!

Good evening, taosmary! (@taosmary)

I might have guessed. Taos has been a favorite getaway for me for many, many years, since moving to Colorado, in fact. Have you lived in Taos all your life? Or are you a Western transplant like me?

I believe I mentioned in an earlier post that I, too, am not aware of any anxiety. My blood pressure, too, fluctuates. (My PCP and I are monitoring it carefully.) Today, for example, at a doctor's appointment (wound clinic doctor), my BP reading was high, but when I got home and checked using my own cuff, it was 'okay,' still a touch on the high side, but what my PCP would say was acceptable. Why I mention this is this morning, when I received a truly high reading, the nurse said, 'You're probably just a little anxious.' 🙂

Best wishes,
Ray (@ray666)
