my oxygen dropped to near critical levels a few days ago due to a respiratory virus . i was hospitalized and put in oxygen , usually id have a breakdown but some reason i feel.. strong i survived this and feel more close to the asthma community more than ever . i suffer greatly from health anxiety but while my oxygen was really low i told myself dont panic think of happy things- my favourite band simple plan and lead singer pierre bouvier . it brought me warmth and comfort and i knew i was gonna be okay . soon as we started treatment , and i got on oxygen i started feeling a sense of “ we made it out alive “ and one day i hope to tell pierre , cause of him im stronger 🩵as he has suffered with his health in 2021 as well ( covid )

my health took a near critical turn a few days ago . my brain said THINK OF SIMPLE PLAN !! when i was near fighting to live . i swear simple plan is the reason im alive today

i got home from hospital yesterday , we did another walk test to determine if i was stable to go home :) thankfully i was stable and treatment had helped . im still sick but nothing like i was upon arrival . im still dizzy at times but its due to being sick ( the low oxygen was a whole different level ) dr said it was near critical . i had a fantastic team at both hospitals and now my parents are taking care of me making sure i recover . i was discharged with 2 antibiotics and a pred taper . i am coughing a lot but my main thing is the tiredness , i got no energy .

i just want to say , becareful out there you dont know how hard a virus will hit you . i was on oxygen all night the first night in hospital and i still couldnt breathe despite maintaining 96 % with oxygen . it was really scary . none of us are invincible , dr said its gonna take a while for me to bounce back , i wanted to share my experience and hooefully it will inspire others to be more careful

was hospitalized for asthma/lung infection and really low oxygen i was discharged yesterday. im so tired all im doing is sleeping lol . i was discharged with 2 antibiotics and a pred taper , how long till the fatigue ends ?? its insane

i went to urgent care . oxygen was 90 , i was told to go to hospital . dr listened to my lungs we did a walk test , my oxygen went down to 79 , i was given lots of meds , oxygen during the night . this morning i got 3 antibiotics, we also did sputum culture , im so tired , chest feels real heavy all i wanna do is sleep . when i do walk i feel dizzy , i feel awful but i know recovery is important so i must work for it . thats my update :(

Im on a z-pak right now and pred and nebs and i also got a freaken ear infection - this is a new one lol but i always had them as a kid and a baby . hopefully ima kick this thing n not have to ring resp . first night i got ZERO sleep . Anyone else deal with this stuff when theyre sick ?

this is like my … 5th chest infection this year but im on treatment for it but the antibiotics are making me feel more sick then i am ( tired , sick stomach , hot and sweaty ) yesterday in clinic my oxygen was a bit low so was blood pressure i was given antibiotics for i think 5 days and prednisone for 6 days . im coughing up this green crap and it tastes awful , all i wanna do is sleep . anyone else get this a lot ?

Tips for colds ? colds basically ruin me i got a sore throat 2 days ago now im sneezing and coughing like crazy and my chest is in a lot of pain when i cough

i had a great respiratory appointment . yes my lung function dropped but it was due to the asthma attack , but it wasnt CRITICAL which my dr reassured me about :) we changed my medication as well . my dr validated my anxiety around the severe attack as well ! which really makes me feel at ease . very happy with my appointment, i follow up again in 3 months :) hopefully no more severe attacks !

i have so many questions i want to ask my mom if i could meet her , first off i want to know my birth story . apparently my mums water broke randomly and she was ready to have me and she was off to the maternity hospital in romania ! delivered naturally! which im so happy about .

2nd i want to know about my 2 other brothers and sisters , theyre much older than me im curious if theyre asthmatic like me and if they suffered respiratory infections too as babies .

3rd question id like to know is why ? why did she have us if she gave us up . i know she was so young and still a kid when she had the eldest kids and it aint easy but why ? tell me why keep me for 2 months then give me up ?
