#breathing problems

[something-existing-somewhere]

I can't stand when People say things like "you don't know what real pain is, wait until you get to be my age" (- an older person). I would rather not imagine me (I already feel like I'm dying when I wake up everyday) older and worse. I'm taking 15 different meds and i smoke weed to try to function as a living being and even then I wake up and go through my days trying to deal with it but end up dissociating. I feel like I'm going to faint while doing mundane things or even just sitting down

Shoutout to the people who can’t bind because of breathing problems. Shout out to people who just don’t want to bind. Shout out to people who are disabled and cannot bind or can’t bind comfortably. I hear y’all and relate to y’all and I hope y’all who are out there as trans and disabled have a wonderful day because this sucks :(

Whumptober Day 14: Flare featuring Sky, Hyrule, and Twilight

Warnings: asthma attack

Whump rating: 2/5 - Physical whump

Hyrule felt the urge to glance over his shoulder for what felt like the hundredth time that day. Sky was lagging at the back of the group. That in itself wasn't unusual, but something about Sky's demeanor was ringing anxiety bells in his head, today. 

Maybe it was the way Sky's usual blinding smile was dull and dim. Or the way he had his head down, focused on his feet, instead of admiring the beauty of whichever era they landed in. Or the way he kept grimacing and rubbing his chest and clearing his throat.

Hyrule didn't want to seem like he was hovering, but he couldn't help it. He worried. 

He glanced over his shoulder, and nearly tripped over his feet. 

Sky was frozen, eyes blown wide and hands on his chest, struggling for breath. 

"Guys!" Hyrule yelled as he ran for Sky. 

As soon as he was within reach, Hyrule grabbed Sky’s upper arms to support him. Sky’s hands flew from his neck to Hyrule’s sleeve, and he gripped it until his knuckles were white. Dust billowed from the path as the others ran to join them. Sky coughed, then soundlessly gasped. He couldn’t draw a breath in.

“The dust!” Four said. “Move him!” 

Hyrule’s heart was beating into his throat as he pulled Sky to the grass on the side of the path. 

“I’ll get the fire. Where’s the potion?” Wild asked. 

“Here,” Legend said, pulling a glass bottle out of his bag and rushing to kneel beside Wild. “I keep an extra.”

Hyrule could feel the tremors as Sky shook. Twilight came around his other side and the two of them gently lowered Sky to the ground.

“You’re gonna be just fine, Sky,” Twilight said as he pulled Sky against his chest. “Focus on my voice.”

Sky was still gasping, but sounded less like he was choking. His head fell against Twilight’s, and Hyrule noticed tears leaking out of his eyes. Hyrule scooted closer until his knees were pressed against Sky’s legs, and he tangled his fingers with Sky’s. 

Warriors brought out the fire rod and added its flames to Wild’s fire. The flames burned blue, and within minutes there was steam coming out of the potion bottle. 

“Sky, the potion’s ready. Can we move,” Twilight said. Sky squeezed Hyrule’s hand twice. 

“He’s ready,” Hyrule said. 

Twilight nodded and pulled Sky with him towards the fire. Hyrule pulled Sky’s sailcloth off his back and Wind and Time helped him hold it over Sky’s head to catch the stream. Wild and Legend made sure only the steam from the bottle went towards Sky and none of the smoke. 

They, unfortunately, had become quick experts at dealing with Sky’s attacks. 

The potion was potent and had Sky breathing again quickly. As his breaths calmed and the adrenaline left his body, his eyes drooped and he slumped against Twilight. 

“Are you okay?” Hyrule asked. 

Sky nodded and squeezed Hyrule’s hand twice again. Hyrule smiled a wobbly smile and rubbed his thumb on the back of Sky’s hand. 

“We’ll make camp here, then,” Time said. He put his hand on Sky’s head and gently rubbed his hair. 

“Looks like you’re not getting out of that one,” Legend said, gesturing to Sky on top of Twilight, rapidly losing the battle against sleep.

Twilight chuckled. “Fine by me.”

One thing about asthma that I never see anyone talk about is how tired it makes you.

During a flare up you're not getting all the oxygen you should, pair that with full body coughs and chest tightness and it's exhausting. Your lungs and breathing muscles get tired and you can feel it. It's like when your legs are tired after a walk and all you want us to sit down and rest but it's your lungs and you can't really just not use your lungs.

Half the time during a flare I end up coughing so hard I get sick and not only is it painful but it drains you of all energy.

Yet, asthma is still treated as this "nerdy person" condition when it's an extremely serious chronic illness with no cure and extremely high medication cost if you want to manage it.

I’ve started getting creative with the way I explain my deformity to people who have never ever heard a medical term.

Curvy rib cage

Dent in my chest

My ribs are squishing my heart

Rib cage is too cagey

My lungs don’t have room

I have chest bone scoliosis

I was born with my ribs caving in

I know it looks like someone threw two tons onto my chest, but I promise it was always like that

My ribs broked lmao

God made me with a built in cereal bowl that I can’t even use because boobs 😔

"There's no excuse for not wearing a mask! It doesn't make it harder to breathe!"

It doesn't make it harder for non-disabled people to breathe. Me, on the other hand, can't have my mouth or nose covered by anything. My glasses can't even push down on my nose or I struggle to breathe.

Don't use fighting ableism as an excuse to be ableist.

Not being able to breath is the thing that scares me the most out of everything. Logically I know nothing is physically wrong. I've had almost every test under the sun done and they all came back normal and I know it's not a panic attack. It's almost like the automatic breathing turns off and I have to focus all my brain power on breathing or else I feel like I'm not getting enough air and it terrifies me everytime

#end speaks #mystery heath issues #breathing problems #if anyone on chroni illness tumblr has any idea what I'm talking about please let me know #not knowing why this is happening is almost as scary as the thing itself #I was hoping I'd never have a flare of symptoms like this again but I guess I'm not that lucky

TIL taking deep breaths isn't supposed to hurt, AT ALL, so I guess I need to make an appointment to look into that

The farmer is trying to kill me! I swear, I tell him to warn me before he sprays and he can’t take it seriously!

A few days ago he sent mea text warning me of two late afternoons he was going to spray the fields. So, I thanked him and avoided the being out there, then avoided yesterday too to give it an extra day to air out.

You could still smell it today. Hell, you could smell it all the way to the swamp and and in the car driving by on the highway.

I saw he had left the tractor parked beside the field, but maybe he was going to sure it for something else. Surely he would let me know if he had to spray more.

So late this afternoon I head out to put meds on the dogs, and what happens? He sprays the fucking field nearest me! The field right next to the dogs and Ryoga! And I can’t just go in because I have to finish the dogs and feed Ryoga before dark!!!

I sent the farmer a profanity laced text, which, to be honest, was mild compared to how I feel.

My chest HURTS! I can’t take a deep breath! My throat burns!!!

WHY CAN’T HE JUST WARN ME!!!!!!!

He rents the fields, so I can talk to my brother, see if some other farmer takes an interest…but whose to say we can find another one, and if we do that they will be any more likely to warn me?

In my experience local farmers are fucking idiots when it comes to safety about the things they spray. One farmer we had used to insist that “It don’t hurt me none” to excuse a lack warning. At least this farmer sometimes warns me….sometimes.

Oh, he replied with an apology and saying next time he will do better about warning me. He’s said that before. I don’t trust him.

Right now….just keep breathing. I feel awful!!!

Thank you so much for mentioning *other* breathing problems. I have been diagnosed with asthma for years and wondering why the medication just didn't help with my issues. Finding out that there are other issues out there at all is blowing my mind a little, and also sending me down a rabbit hole. I had no idea this stuff even existed!

Wouldn't it be nice if doctors were more aware of this!

When I finally got undiagnosed with asthma (like, when they concluded that diagnosis had been wrong), there was a chemical analysis of the air I was exhaling that proved it couldn't be asthma. I think I may have been put on some sort of medication or steroid for the week leading up to that test? This was seven years ago, so I don't remember exactly. I do remember that the test had three possible results: definitely not asthma, maybe asthma, or definitely asthma. I was conclusively in the "definitely not asthma" range. It would have been way more frustrating to wind up in the "maybe" range.

For me, the problem had never been my chest, and I'd always known that, but I was an incredibly compliant kid and generally didn't challenge authority, so conversations with my pediatrician about my breathing problems had tended to go like this:

Me: My throat closes up when I run.

Her: You mean your chest feels tight?

Me: Sure, I guess . . .

I'm not an expert on anyone's experience but my own, and I can't diagnose you, but it will probably help to get clear on what your symptoms are, when they occur, and what part(s) of your body they affect. If you can express that clearly and not accept gaslighting, hopefully you'll be able to get some help figuring out what's up and how to make things better. I'll note that there isn't medication for vocal chord dysfunction/paradoxical vocal fold movement (the thing I have), just breathing exercises (as well as foods to avoid if it's aggravated by acid reflux).

I wish this were easier and we didn't have to do so much of the research ourselves!

Me: Why do I feel like shit today? *realizes my breath is a little shallower than usual* Also me: *doesn't think it's my asthma but uses inhaler anyway just in case* Also fucking me: *feels better almost instantly* >:(

#I've always been really bad at using my inhaler #my doctor got upset at me when I was in middle school because I just never used it even when I needed to 🙂 #it just never really crosses my mind as an option ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #asthma #breathing problems #Bella's Blabbings

Y'all know by now I'm asthmatic.

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 and V coughs in the shower. My hound dog heard a female cough, sits up, looks at me, sees I'm not coughing and lays back down.

The dog knows I'm asthmatic

The reality of life with a chronic disease.

Today i had a wash wash the first time in about a month. My husband scrubbed my skin as I can't wash alone. Just sitting on a bath board wore me out to the point I needed to go back to bed for 2 hours.

This afternoon I detangled my (partially matted) hair. Being mixed race means curly, long and thick locks that I simply don't have the energy to care for most of the time.

These two thing, two tasks that any able bodied person wouldn't have a second thought about, brought me to my limit today.

I couldn't even find the energy to get dressed.

I would love to wash everyday. I would love to do my hair in pretty styles. I would adore the chance to try on multiple garments before I find my fit for the day. I dream of seeing my friends for a coffee or catch up.

But that isn't my reality. Things get better. Things get worse.

Today was on the worse side.
