Hello, first I would like to say thank you very much.. Sometimes I feel like I’m crazy.. so I try to ignore everything that’s going on.. But then my air shouts off and I know I can’t give up..but the medical professionals that I have seen some of them think(well I’m not sure what they think)One pulmonologist that I seen turned and ask my husband how does she usually act.. my husband said just fine when she can breath... this incident has even impacted my throat down into the esophagus..
My vocal cords, my voice, I’ve even got pain under right breast (but I’ve had gallbladder surgery a long time ago) so it can’t be gallbladder hurting) The biggest question I usually get is.. are you under a lot of stress..yes I am, but know more than usual..
I had a EGD last week with biopsy but no results yet.. I think my GI focus leaning towards (barrettes esophagus)(eosinophils asthma) but so far all asthma meds I’ve tried either makes it worse..or just makes me feel sick.. some have even caused blisters on tung.. But if I talk or drink something cold it makes me cough..coughing makes it feel like something swells up and that makes my breathing worse..my oxygen is good... but it’s so hard to push my air out...my cough sounds awful.. but they say my lungs are clear..but I’ve started coughing up some whit stuff..
I called to make appointment with pulmonologist but they can’t get me in until March 27... I saw my primary doctor and they are going to see if maybe they can get me in sooner.. primary doc said she would like them to do lung biopsy and flush lungs.. I definitely don’t know anything about that...
Sorry I didn’t mean to go on for ever...
I would love to go to Mayo but I live in Oklahoma... plus I’m afraid they will tell me the same thing.. which is nothing...I don’t want my life to end like this!! But at times I can’t hardly get myself to bed it simply takes to much air..
Then I wonder if I will wake back up or not.
I really do appreciate your time and I’m reading the information you sent..
Thank you very much

Hello, I’m feeling down tonight, been having a very hard time breathing.. so I went to OU medical Center yesterday.. we got there about 1:30.. my BP was 167/125 and I was still having a very hard time breathing.. it was 6:30 before I finally got a breathing treatment and the guy from respiratory said he would give it about 30 minutes and we would do another treatment.. but it was shift change he never showed up again..finally the doctor can me in and said I have asthma.. he wrote a script for pro air and steroids..never addressed my BP and not much concern for my breathing...sent us home.. (I can’t stop coughing) and that makes my air way get tighter...making it harder to breathe..
Then today I got results from blood work I had last week..I tested positive for autoimmune disorder.. primary doctor is sending me to McBride bone and joint in Oklahoma City..I’ve done a little research on it.. I feel at a loss wright now... I already had knee replacement both shoulders replaced.. now I don’t know if the autoimmune disorder is affecting my breathing.. My question is is there a medication that will help me??
Is it the autoimmune disorder causing my asthma or asthma symptoms??
Where do I go pulmonologist??
How do I stop this itching in my throat that makes me cough??
Anyone any answers or suggestions??
