Thank you for the info. I had asthma when I was young. Am now 77. For many years I would sometimes have shortness of breath, especially if I breathed cold air too quickly. Have been prescribed advair and rescue inhalers for many years, using them infrequently. I have numerous kidney cysts. My GP has not specifically said I have CKD. A year and a half ago a cyst bled. Was in hospital for a week. My hemoglobin was quite low. I had several transfusions and ultrasounds and CT scans. Eventually my hemoglobin returned to normal and the hematoma has gradually decreased in size. This past week I wasnt feeling well and experienced the bloated feeling and shortness of breath that was present when the cyst burst but none of the severe pain. I am feeling better now but needless to say it is worrisome. Thank you.
