Hi there,

I'm sorry I can't give you any answers but I'm a 44yr old woman who suffers the same and have slowly been goin down hill for years...as in the bouts of this happening have been becomming more regular. I have been treated with antihistamines, antibiotics and even depression tablets but none have helped. I am a singer in a rock band so being able to breathe well is kinda important. Like you all tests done so far have been negative, infact because I eat healthy and keep fit (when I can breathe) all my results have come back 'fighting fit'....it's so frustrating, I quite often feel like my lungs and all my head are really inflamed, if it was a skin rash they'd give me some ointment but as it's all internal the doctors just look at me like I'm mad when I describe my symptoms. I will keep you posted if cause is ever found, maybe it will help you.
Take care Jacs

I feel like my lungs and head are inflamed all the time, again its difficult to explain. Like trying to suck in air through a tough leather straw which you have to really pull draw your lungs out to get a good breath. The symptoms seem to me like an allergic, albeit permanent, reaction. My doctor wants to put me on anti-depressants too, thats what they do when they basically don't have a clue.
