@scoop I have these episodes where I have pretty severe pain in the far upper left chest area. I have tightened breathing even with the loads of asthma meds I am taking. I do not generally wheeze anymore like I did as a child. The 7% saline and coughing that just got added like 2 months ago seems to help more than the asthma meds. I have extreme fatigue to the point where my life is on hold. This may last a few days to a week or so, but it seems like they are more frequent and lasting longer. The pain is bad enough that I put ice packs on my chest which helps. If I go to the doctor or ER and tell them my chest hurts and I am having tightness in my breathing etc. then they do EKGs every single time. When that comes back ok, they have no idea what to do other than give me more of the same meds I already have taken at home. Maybe give me a steroid shot that doesn't do much of anything now days. They can't see any signs of a bacterial infection, no flu, covid etc. so usually no antibiotics or viral meds. They probably think I am crazy or making it all up. Basically a big waste of time and money. So I tend to just self medicate, rest and ride it out. Once these episodes subside and everything calms down, I do fairly well... until the next time. I refuse to give into this disease and just keep on going. Been on this "merry-go-round" for many years. I raised two kids and held my own in the workplace in spite of it.
