#keep the heartburn from happening and fucking with my asthma. if you have heartburn and find yourself coughing a lot

[bulldyke-rider]

Okay, I think it's time to maybe talk about what has helped with my hypochondria. Because I'm doing a lot better. And when I googled how to deal with hypochondria, basically nothing helpful comes up.

So here's some stuff I think you should keep in mind:

1) the only advice I got online was to not Google symptoms. I mostly took that advice. Idk if it helped, but it didn't hurt.

2) the symptoms for damn near everything is the same. Just keep that in your mind. Shit going wrong in your body all feels pretty similar regardless of the severity.

3) anxiety can do so much to your body. Like legit so much. It can give you really bad heartburn, it can make your hands and face go numb, it can make your asthma flare up, it fucked with my fucking iron levels. So that feeling you have, 95% chance it's just anxiety and is actually quite low stakes.

4) idk if anxiety does something to everyone's iron. But iron deficiency symptoms are kinda scary. They terrified my sister. Feeling like you're cold but from the inside is just an iron problem. It also causes fogginess, fatigue, dizziness, and it can make it hard to swallow. My tell tale signs are feeling cold from the inside, having bruises you don't remember getting, and getting dizzy or dark vision when you stand up.

Things I think you should do:

1) I literally take a deep breath and move when I start to get anxious. Just a shift in position. Usually I change how my head and neck are positioned because that's what helps me the most. It works most of the time. Sometimes it works for a long period of time, sometimes it works really briefly. But this is when you can make sure that you note that you did briefly feel better. That's a sign that nothing is actually wrong.

2) note when little shit gives you relief. Even if it's brief. And yes, this can be helpful to try stuff again. But the main point here is that it's important to note that there is stuff that's helping. This will help your thought process while the actual action is mostly just helping you physically.

3) note when the thought begets the feeling. I catch myself having an anxious thought and then getting physically anxious a lot. Remind yourself that the thought came first when it does.

4) try to burp. May sound stupid, may not be helpful to you, but I get anxious any time I need to burp. And I'm more attuned to that feeling now. I recognize it far earlier than I normally would've. You might be like this about different things.

5) eat through the nausea if you have really long lasting nausea. I didn't for a while. But then I started and it tamed the nausea.

6) bear down when your heart beats super fast. It will usually relieve it.

7) I mentally and emotionally doomsday prep sometimes. This may be counterproductive for some people. But it works for me. "So what? What if such and such happens? Then I'll just..." and continue on with some little plan that will make everything okay in the end.

And this is all I can give right now, but if I think of more shit that can help, trust me to post that shit.

Hello

Im pretty new to tumblr. So this is my first request but could you mabey possibly do vincent / brahms witha s/o with asthma. Only if your comfortable with it.

Please and thank you😊

Hi! I don't suffer with asthma and I don't know anyone else who does (one of my siblings did when we were younger but she grew out of it so my memory is super hazy of it) so I did some research about it before I wrote this. As such, please be aware that there may be inaccuracies or inconsistencies about the reality of having asthma, though I've done my best to be respectful and accurate. Here is where I did my research. Also, I've had a few people ask for Brahms, but I only write for the Sinclair brothers!

GENDER NEUTRAL READER, NO CODED LANGUAGE, "YOU" AND Y/N USED.

Vincent Sinclair with an S/O who has asthma

Vincent is the doctor in Ambrose.

Tooth ache, stomach ache, an arrow in the chest, heartburn, gunshot wounds, food poisoning, concussion... Vincent knows the best first aid for it all.

The most useful thing daddy ever did for Vincent was leaving his old medical tomes in his office for Vincent to peruse at his leisure.

Vincent takes better care of himself and his brothers than their parents ever fucking did.

You got two options when your asthma flares up; if you wanna be mother hen'd and fussed over, go to Bo. If you want or need actual medical attention, then go to Vincent. He'll hold your life in his hands and nurture it gently 'til he can safely hand it back to you.

Don't go to Lester if you're having an active asthma attack; he'll just panic, run to the nearest brother, and make shit worse for you. Your inhaler is in his driver's side storage, but he's too panicked to remember it even if this is the tenth attack he's witnessed so I hope you're coherent enough to get it out yourself.

Vincent always keeps inhalers in every room of the house. He has spares, he has spares of spares. Daddy's office has an oxygen tank, too, and Vincent would somehow make that work for you if you needed it.

For all the textbooks, though, Vincent relies on you the most for information and within days of witnessing the first asthma attack you had in front of him, he's figured out any triggers you have, any symptoms which show that one is coming or that you're coming down from one, he's worked out what you need, whether you prefer touch or non-verbal communication or both... Vincent's got you down so well that the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted.

If there are gaps in his knowledge, he'll ask you so many questions that it starts to feel like an interrogation. Don't even try to reel him in, Y/N, this is serious and he wants to know the ins and outs of what happen to you. Spare no details. Let him see, if you can't explain. Even if you can explain, let him see anyway. He might notice something you don't, because we can't see to the end of our noses.

You might think that being familiar means he won't panic, but you're wrong. He panics every time but he channels that into helping you. You're his muse and he wants to see you thrive.

In a weird way, this is like bonding for Vincent; learning what an asthma attack is like for you just like how you got to learn the grooves and contours of his face. It's not nearly the same thing, he knows, but he wants to know the deepest parts of you and this is one of them.

The bottom line is that Vincent will help you and protect you. He wants to be your first call for anything and everything. You can take care of yourself, you know it, Bo and Lester know it, Vincent knows it, but he wants to be the first one you think of for any situation. Why? Because it keeps you with him, lowers the chances of you running and telling on him and his brothers. Co-dependency will be deliberately fostered and even if you can see all the red flags, you won't be able to do anything about it because he already has you right where he wants you.

He does love you, he does, but it's a twisted thing, and it burns like a knife deep inside.
