Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Yes I am sorry for the typo. Yes Zender. For my bronchiectasis I use two preventative inhalers daily as well as a rescue inhaler. Because it was assumed my swallowing and breathing issues were a flare up I started using 7% nebulizer daily as well. I keep an antibiotic with me and when I have a flare up start that immediately. I have had this for 40 years and 38 years ago had a lobectomy. I learned thru the years to read my body and self treat. I stay away from camp fires, dust, pollen as much as possible and make sure our air ducts are cleaned. No wood heating or second hand smoke. This has kept me going all these years so when I started choking, clearing my throat all the time, had a hoarse voice and regurgitating and vomiting I vowed to find a solution as at this rate I was frightened I would choke in my sleep.

Your symptoms were certainly frightening. I’m glad you found solutions that work for you. Boy, some of those things like campfires, dust and pollen are hard to avoid, aren’t they?
So many of our neighbors have fire pits in the city. Smoke bothers me too, especially since my transplant. Sometimes I can’t even have our windows open at bedtime on a lovely cool evening because the smoke is so heavy in the air.
