Title: Athsma attack
Post by: Francis on June 09, 2011, 01:53:34 PM
Last night, at 3:00AM. I wasn't breathing properly, my lungs were wheezing and i could barely breath and it was getting worse. I just called 911 because i didn't have any other choice. I answered some questions that the lady at the police department was asking and then 3 MINUTES later the ambulance came. They came faster then i expected, it was my first time calling 911. They did SO MANY things to me. Checked my blood pressure, put this thing on my finger. Then they put an oxygen mask on me. It wasn't helping so they put some Ventolin and oxygen mixed together in a mask and after 2 hours of that mask i was starting to breath again. Ventolin is basically the same thing as my inhaler but it's mixed with some other steroids and oxygen and it's put into a mask. It was the worst experience of my life. I had an asthma attack like this when i was 7 but it was x10 worse and i was basically suffocating back then. I could at least breath a little bit this time.

I have a really unsevere case of Athsma, but it still sucks. Happy you made it through, Francis.

What if Francis wasn't able to call 911? Who else could have done it if he couldn't?

That's terrible. Glad to hear you made it though.

I'm lucky enough to not have asthma. A lot of my friends do and It's not a fun experience having an attack.

Hope you stay fine. :)

That's horrible. I have Asthma too but not that bad. I get it occasionally during winter but nothing like an attack only after running for a long period of time I struggle. But gladly you made it A-Okay.  :P
