Something triggered my asthma again. And this time, I think its getting worst that I have decided to go for a check up already.
I usually take my asthma attacks for granted because they are usually mild and takes only a few minutes but doesn't really interfere with my day to day activities. I seldom get serious asthma attacks and I never had chest pains this serious before.
Besides, I had been asthmatic all my life that the usual breathlessness has become a part of my daily existence. But like I've said, its different this time.
I had been having these chest pains and the occasional heartburn since last summer but never as serious as the past three days (since Thursday). Yesterday (Friday) was probably the worst. I was already about to take a bath but the pain in my chest is just too much that my vision blurred and I had to lie down again. I ended up texting my classmate that I won't be able to attend the class.
Its like something is blocking on my throat that I'm having a hard time swallowing. Activities as simple as tying my hair or rousing my self leaves me out of breath. And the pain in my chest just won't leave me alone!
My asthma is manageable---at least it still is as of this moment, but its the chest pains that drains
my energy. I can still control my breathing so there is really no problem of me dying in the next few days. However, I think my asthma has just progressed from mild to serious and I still can't point out what triggered it this time.
It couldn't be the dust because I had been taking antihistamine for it ( I also have allergic rhinitis, its actually common on asthmatics). I don't think I ate anything that could trigger allergies (which could also trigger my asthma). Stress? Its still the first week of classes. Emotional problems? Don't have any as of this moment.
So what? What?
I usually feel like a fish out of water (not that I was ever a fish). Gasping for breath, trying to calm my breathing, and doing everything to avoid hyperventilating myself.
Sometimes, I just wish I could die.
