DizzyGirls Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This question is about me and not my 'dizzy girls' I have a real hard time catching my breath sometimes. I've had mild trouble with this since I was a kid, but now, sometimes in the evening it feels like my throat is trying to close off. I can't seem to make it go away. It seems that the more tired I get, the worse it gets, which does stand to reason, but it is starting to give me anxiety when I feel like I can't breathe. I am trying Flovent, NP wants to see if that will help. I also have an albuterol inhaler, but that doesn't usually help. I did try it last night because it was getting bad. I think it might have worked a little bit, but gave my lungs a funny almost crampy feeling. Anyway, does anybody ever have trouble breathing and it not be asthma related? Pretty sure I have EDS along with my girls. Maybe this is part of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitnesskelly Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I get short of breath sometimes when I stand up (I know that my BP is dropping pretty good when that happens), when I go up stairs (despite being really fit) and after certain types of exercise.

DizzyGirls Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I should check my bp when this is happening! Thanks! It didn't even occur to me. I do have very low blood pressure and nurses are always commenting "is it always this low?" Yes, it is (unless I've stopped by Starbucks earlier! ). This will be interesting. I used to be really fit, too. But since having my girls, some 19 years ago, my body hasn't been the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade123 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 @dizzygirls, Shortness of breath is my #1 symptom for the last year and continues to worsen. I just wrote an introduction post and am new to this board so hope it is okay to jump in! Am not sure if I need to put the "@" before someone's name to tag them in my response?
