prosodicI had an asthma attack last night. I think it scared Lance and Reece more than it scared me. Reece actually came over and stood on me to make sure I was ok, which certainly didn't help me breathe any better. She had her front paws on my chest and her head was right by my face.
I had to gasp out to Lance that I needed water, and he ran into the kitchen for it.
My inhaler was pretty much useless.
This is the 2nd asthma attack I've had within a week. The other one was at work, and wasn't quite as bad.
I think I need to schedule a doctor appointment for Friday afternoon, since I get off at noon. I need to get to the bottom of all this chest congestion and coughing I've had lately.
So anyway, I had a long night. I kept waking up because I couldn't breathe properly. Now I have to spend all day at work, when any sensible person would call off and get some rest.
But I can't. Because that would put me even further behind. There is too much to do. And it's not going to get done by itself. As with a lot of things in life these days, I just have to suck it up.

Date: 2009-01-14 02:53 am (UTC)I generally don't have issues with my asthma. It's just been since New Year's. I've had this congestion in my chest and I can't stop coughing. It's worse at night
I'm sure it's stress related. Excessive stress tends to trigger extreme health reactions from me. I'm breaking out in some eczema too right now, as well as blotchiness on my face.
