You are in my prayers.
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.
