Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Regarding limitations, sometimes I wonder if I have asthma or something else is wrong or I have a combination of things. I have been without insurance for a while, but will have insurance again starting next month. I've been taking Advair/500 twice a day and I'm concerned about it, as one doctor told me a while ago, that some people have died from it. But I received it free of charge and had no other choice, besides not breathing very well. I do have a question: Are all the following symptons normal for asthmatics? When I carry my grandson (about 25 pounds) for a few feet, I ran out of air and sometimes it triggers an attack. I also can't run or walk swiftly, or do heavy housework. I also get short of breath when I take an extended hot shower. I used to be a ball room dancer and can't even think of dancing anymore. I had a really bad attack while dancing. I miss the dancing very much. I would like to hear from some of you about other options I may have before I go seek out to a new doctor next month.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I did a sleep study where my heart was monitored and everything came back normal. I think I need a stress test. My primary said he would hear if there is something wrong and he doesn't hear anything. Deb Do you have heart trouble? Having asked that I will say when my lungs are acting up I have trouble carrying anything too and I do not have heart trouble. Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
