I need some advice. I have had a recurring problem for a number of years. It doesn’t kick in in warm weather. Most of the time I had bronchitis preceeding. Neither of those two are present all the time.
My breathing sort of cuts off. My chest feels as if there is a band on it. If I am talking or singing, I have to stop, pause, and then I can restart. Sometimes I need to cough once or twice. It is a dry cough.
No fever is present.
I have the problem now but no drip.
I HAVE SEEN A DOCTOR, actually several, ABOUT THIS.
The docs here in the US have ruled out asthma, gastric reflux and a variety of other stuff. When they did these tests, my CBC numbers were all within normal parameters.
The doc in Papua did a chest x-ray, and then an ultra-sound of my abdomen. At least there, in that experience I received a diagnosis: CHRONIC APPENDICITIS and gave me instructions to AVOID VEGETABLES! They didn’t want to remove the appendicix and I still eat my peas.
So, I need some ideas. I am having the condition reoccur now. Fingernails, lips extremities are all pink (showing adequate blood flow and therefore enough oxygen.
Please brainstorm for me.
Prayers are up for it, anyway.

Do you have copies of your medical records in Papau? It sounds like you need to see an endocranologist and a complete physical. Be sure the Dr knows about your lack of O2 when talking or singing. That’s my suggestion. Have the Dr check your diaphram.
Have you ever been checked for a fungus or yeast growth in lungs. Your body may keep it in check but it might grow during certain times or when you eat specific foods.
Now, if I end up correct, I want to say that I am not a doctor, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!
My wife has similar symptoms.....her GI doc sent her to the Cardiologist and he pronounced her fit. Then she went to an allergist and he thinks she has this inflamation (not asthma or allergy)
She’s there right now matter of fact
