Almost Died....


Resev

341 views

Mon. night, had a severe asthma attack and pretty much lost the ability to breathe... Didn't have my rescue inhaler, so I was rushed off to the E.R.

They gave me a nebulizer treatment and it opened my lungs immediately. Everything should've been good now, right?... Wrong.

The medicine used to fight the attack, caused my heart's BPM to spike to an alarming rate and made me tremor uncontrollably. (And this was the light stuff, compared to what they usually use)

Finally calmed down around 2:00AM and was able to go home to with Ranna and relax until falling asleep at 4 something, with a strange craving for an M&M blast.

 

I have a new found respect for medical insurance and doctors (still not enough to like them, though), and realize that I hate Mondays...

 

So, anyone else have a bad case of the Mondays?

Had the wind knocked out of me in a few accidents before. Being unable to breathe is one of the scariest feelings I know. You sure got lucky.

 

Glad to see you're ok.

 

I don't like Monday's either, but in my case I've got a bad case of working in the healthcare system myself all week.

Everyone hates Mondays, Res. Mondays just weren't meant to be. :P

My bad accidents and stuff have always happened on on weekends though.....

But usually my bad days are Monday....or around Valentine's day. :P

 

*gives you an M&M Blast....inside a coat pocket*

:P

I think the moral here is that near-death situations open a hole in the fabric of reality that causes the need for M&M blasts upon the victim.

 

~EW~

You are so right... I wonder if it's the same for blueberry donuts...

 

I actually had asthma, but I cured it via a breathing technique. I haven't had an asthma attack in years.

 

Via water training? I haven't had to use my inhaler for 3 years, and I thought I had grown out of it...

Got spacers put in on Monday for braces, which make me unable to eat solid foods, but that was the worst of it.

No M&M blasts? :(

How does a 4 day week sound? XP

*eats coat pocket along with M&M blast* Than- O.o

 

so what caused you to have an attack?

 

It was a cold front/allergies.... Plus I was jogging when I shouldn't have been.

Any idea why the medication got such an adverse reaction? If it was an antibiotic you might want to make sure you haven't developed an allergy

They think I might have a neurological problem, caused by the medicine I had to take when I was little.
