Hi to anyone

[bigmamma]

I am sitting at my computer trying to take my mind off an asthma attack coming on.I have taken everything I can and just have to sit and hope it eases off soon.

[redhead23]

hi , drink some water and keep calm
have u had ur inhalers>>>

[bigmamma]

Hi redhead23.Thankyou for your swift reply.
Yes I have taken inhalers but that didnt work as I couldnt get a big enough breath in.I have a nebulizer on loan from the hospital and I have just been on that. Still wheezing, you can probably hear me from there.

hi mamma sorry got distracted u there

[grumpii]

call an ambulance you need proper medical attention if your medication isnt helping you.

[bigmamma]

Still hanging on , if it eases off I will get away without calling an ambulance.I am on my own which doesnt help as I get rather scared at times.

[redhead23]

mama im worried are u ok?

[redhead23]

listen , keep ur phone / mobile near you
i have asthma
i know how scary it is !!!
mama do NOT PANIC
sit upright xxxx

[bigmamma]

I have got my phone near me as you advise redhead23 and am sat up leaning on my computer desk.It is helpful to have people kind enough to talk to me through it.

[redhead23]

[grumpii]

call an ambulance, dont try to hang on, they can help you, please listen to me, this is something I have witnessed and could become distressing for you without any help. the ambulance man/woman , will not be bothered by you, they just sit in a laybye somewhere waiting for something to happen. they will be pleased to help you.

[bigmamma]

[bigmamma]

Trying not to call ambulance as I dont fancy another hospital stay and being put back on steroids if I can get away with it.
However , if I get no better I will need oxygen and have no choice.

[redhead23]

big thank u i do agree with grupmpi , that is why we pay our taxes . if you are not feeling better please call someone - are u feeling any better?
can i ask how old are you ?

[grumpii]

Do you have any family / freinds close by who could sit with you for a while?

[redhead23]

[bigmamma]

Thankyou redhead and grumpii.I will have another go on the nebulizer first and then call ambulance if no good.I am 51 by the way.

[redhead23]
