Hi, I am a 26 year old male living in
California. For the past 2 years I have
been having extreme problems with the
breathing and overall health. I was in
Texas for the past 2 years and picked up
allergies there. Later it turned into
bronchitis and pneumonia. I have been a
smoker for 3 years which I'm pretty sure
doesnt help. I have seen the doctor
numerous times and he has prescribed me an
Inhaler and Advare to help with the
breathing. What have noticed for the past
6 months is that I will wake up with my
breathing passage just blocked with flem.
its seems like all the liquid from my nose
just runs straight into the lungs.
Sometimes it gets impossible to get a full
chest of breath. Everytime I try to
exercise I can breathless in seconds.
Even walking uphill will make me dizzy
sometimes. Now it has gotten worse. For
the past 3 weeks I have been extremely
tired. i get my usual 6 hours of sleep,
but can barely stay awake the rest of the
day. When I get home I am ready to hit
the bed. This is becoming worse by the
day and I just dont know how to fix it. I
can exercise, cant breath, cant think and
cant wake up. I need some good advise on
what should be the steps I must take to
get back to my energetic life style.
Have you ever performed functional lung
tests, provocation tests and O2-metry to
exclude or confirm chronic bronchitis or
asthma? It is possible that your
bronchitis turned into chronic condition
but need proof for that.
Have you ever being examined by
ENT-specialist to exclude or confirm
chronic inflammation of the nose, sinuses
or throat?
