Apparently it is super contagious and nasty. He told me he'd seen more cases of pneumonia in 2 weeks than he had in 2 years. The only good thing has been that my asthma hasn't really flared with this. I haven't even used my nebulizer because I wasn't wheezing when I saw him. I probably should try it but I'll ask first. Albuterol is also kind of stimulating for me so I hate using it.
I called the doctors office again and this man answered the after hours line. I told him my peak flow is in the green zone. And I’d taken both my asthma inhalers and I still feel like I can’t breathe! He had me give him my O2 and it was 95. He said below 92 is what they worry about. He said I’ve already got an extended appointment with my doctor on Tuesday so just keep that unless I faint or get blue lips and fingers. Walking around the grocery store with N3 tonight was difficult. I was definitely fighting to breathe faster. I’m beginning to think I do have a partially collapsed lung! It’s in my portal!
