Breathless and gasping for breath when I cough - Allergy? Posted: 11-06-07 10:33am
Hello, I have aquestion I am really
hoping someone can answer.
I find that when I laugh, or cry , or talk
to long periods of time, i tend to start
coughing alot and in doing so I easily
lose my breath. I find myself gasping for
breath and I was wondering if you think it
could be an allergy?
It doesn't seem to matter where I am;
home, work, shopping, outside... if i do
those things i lose my breath.
I had pleurisy 2 years ago and ever since
then I have found this happens. the right
side of my chest hurts when i cough.
I've been taking Allegra D for over 3
weeks and i have not seen any difference.
do you think this could be an allergy?
Thankyou so much for your help and time:)

Are you experiencing shortness of breath
with exertion and noisy breathing?
Do you choke or cough when swallowing
food, drink, or even saliva?
Do you find your voice changed?

Keep a Peak, Flow Diary 2 Times a Day Am/pm Posted: 01-02-08 01:02am
Hello , i hope that u are keeping a
medical diary, peak flows, exercise,
triggers, stress, if not start now! they
will help. you seek out respitory
specialist, if not better go to the
hospital.. you know how your lungs felt
while ill, if they feel the same or
different you should seek help. Talking
and laughing are the one things the
doctors don't want you to do as it tires
you and can cause an attack.. So be
careful, and take al look around your
bedroom and see if it is a really sterile
envioronment, no fancy stuff, bed, lamps,
bedding and the extra's and a hepa filter
and have a "clean" place to heal, no
animals and dust, commit and u should get
better, but be pro-active! god bless ww
