Loading ...I know you care about this person so don’t get me wrong. I’m jumping around to one person to another right now. I meant to mention but hard to type on that site or see it a phone. So typing this after dinner. Then back to my radiation.
If you want to know what it’s like for her in a asthma attack or flair up so you understand the urgency of doing something about it. Take a long rope. Wrap it around your chest a few times leaving the ends loose on both sides. Step one your breathing normally, now start tightening the rope pulling on both sides. Notice now your starting to comcuously use your accessory muscles to breath. Keep tightening and you will be using those muscles more forcefully while finding it harder and harder to take a breath and get air. In a asthma attack it can happen fast to the point they can’t get enough meaningful air but if witnessed you can see it start and act sooner than later when they can’t get enough air to get aerosol medicine in like a inhaler and need more trays or positive pressure. With long term like bronchial conditions like emphysema it can happen in flair ups but it’s a long term progressive situation if shortness of breath that though the years gets harder and harder to breath after so many alveoli have been destroyed. That’s why it’s so important to try to prevent as much triggers and constant inflammation and causative factors. Also why anyone who says they can cure it is full of BS less they can grow more lung tissue. You have to work on preventing it. If she tries hydroxy see if they have heart sounds you can learn on YouTube if they have them for any abnormal heart rhythm and sounds over you and she has her base line and also learn to take her pulse and feel any irregularities. Normal is just lub dub in a steady rhythm no skips or gallop. If she gets something irregular see a urgent care that does EKGs. You’ll have to keep a eye on that and other side effects. Just know them both of you.
Keep walking passive exercise will help a bit. While she can.
